Sainte-Chapelle is beautiful in ways that cannot be explained. Take time to sit on the chairs provided and just admire the stained glass, ceiling and walls. The Conciergerie was a surprise! Learning all the history of what it was, and how it was used was a pleasant surprise. I am glad we did both.

there was a queue outside for sainte chapelle for those with ticket reservations online. at the conciergerie, we just went inside as there was no line. you just need to show your qr code fr gyg site then you're good to go. sainte chapelle is really very pretty inside. but there's not much to look at at the conciergerie though

Sainte- Chapelle & Conciergerie are great experiences to add to your to do list in Paris. It was an great experience. The stairs of Sainte- Chapelle are very narrow. It is quite a challenge when traveling with kids thru those narrow stairs. I bought a bottle of wine at the Conciergerie and took it to Sainte- Chapelle. All visitors are subject to be x-rayed their belongs. The security almost refused my entry because of the bottle. It is a little bit awkward because I had to show the security the receipt that I bought the bottle at the store at the Conciergerie. Even then they almost refused me entry. Luckily there was a lady who spoke English and I asked her why would they let the Conciergerie sell bottles of wine while you cannot take them with you in the Sainte- Chapelle. She understood my point of view and let me in with the bottle.
