Sainte-Chapelle, Paris

Sainte-Chapelle, on the Ile De La Cite, has been liken to “a gateway to heaven.”  The chapel was built in 1248 by Louis IX to house Christ’s crown of thorns.  The chapel is extraordinary and everything is truly mesmerizing.

Enjoy some of my favorite photos of Sainte-Chapelle.
