(Holy Chapel)
Sainte Chapelle (1248) is the most difficult glory to find in
Paris. A royal church, Notre Dame's rival on the island of
Cite, it is surrounded by the heavily guarded Law Courts,
which took over the entire palace complex during the French
Revolution. Exterior views provide few hints of what is inside
The upper chapel's stained glass display is magnificent.

A pair of stained glass panels on the south side of Sainte
Chapel. There are 8 such panels in the church, 4 on each
