We had a very seamless experience and were let in even though we came about 15 minutes early. I only wish it said on the website that you could buy tickets in person even if it was sold out online. The church is a must see-absolutely gorgeous stain glass windows and statues depicting biblical scenes on the deck. There was a line line for the bathroom-they should add more stalls. Also the English translations could be better written. Otherwise a great experience.

The church stained glass windows were breathtaking and each tells a story within the Bible. However, you need to queue an early schedule in the morning to get a better chance of entering on time.

The wait with tickets was not too long. The chambers of the chapel were beautiful and breath taking. The information presented added much to the experience.

Massive amount of stained glass in the chapel. Lines are long, slow, and poorly organized, due to security reasons entering, even with timed tickets.

I am very happy to have bought tickets via Headache. People without tickets stood in front of the security check for 2.5 hours, we waited 25 minutes.

Your experience

Come discover this historic monument in Paris, an architectural gem from the Gothic period, at your own pace and whenever you choose.

Commissioned by King Saint-Louis and built-in 1241, come relive the history of Sainte Chapelle, guided by a series of information panels.

You will learn how the Sainte Chapelle was originally built to house relics of the Passion of the Christ acquired by the monarch during the 13th century. These include a piece of the True Cross and the Holy Crown, which nearly disappeared in the early 19th century! Starting in 1790, Sainte Chapelle was restricted to members of the clergy and was emptied of its contents. It progressively became archive storage for the neighboring Palais de Justice also known as Paris’s Court House, until a restoration campaign was started under pressure from the public.

Today, it is no longer possible to admire the relics for which Sainte Chapelle was built, as they were either lost or displaced during the French Revolution. You can, however, admire the chapel’s breathtakingly beautiful stained-glass windows. With 15 windows of 50 sq. ft. each, you can view the history of the world up until the arrival of the relics in Paris. In total, 1,113 scenes are depicted on the stained glass. Information is provided so that you won’t miss a single detail of these colored glass artworks.
