Sainte-Chapelle was built in the 13th century and is famed for its magnificent stained glass windows. In medieval times it was called 'gateway to heaven' and when I stood in the upper chapel I could understand why.
Unfortunately there were many other people there and taking photos, although permitted, was difficult.
The lower chapel houses the statue of the Virgin Mary - the sanctuary's patron saint.
The upper chapel is unbelievable, there are 15 stained glass windows depicting 1,113 scenes from Genesis through to Christ's resurrection.
