your experience
A visit to the iconic Palais de la Cité will not disappoint; the former royal palace has two remarkable monuments you must see, namely the Sainte Chapelle and the Conciergerie. Your skip-the-line tickets will allow you to dodge famously-long ticketing queues and head right into the Sainte Chapelle. Make your way through the gothic marvel and admire the ancient stained glass windows with exquisite design and depth of color.
Head out to the Conciergerie, your next stop on the itinerary and explore what used to be an ancient prison. This picturesque attraction holds the cells and tombs of criminals and heroes of the French revolution, making it an iconic Parisian monument. This self-guided tour allows you to admire the sites at your own pace and stick around for as long as you please.
