Explore the historic Conciergerie and the awe-inspiring Sainte-Chapelle with an in-app audio tour!
Both buildings were part of the original Royal Court, the first in France, established in the 10th Century. The Conciergerie served as the first Royal Palace, while the Sainte Chapelle was built as the Royal Chapel for the Kings of France.
Commencing at the Conciergerie, a medieval palace standing for over a millennium, delve into its rich history. Originally a residence for the kings of the Capetian dynasty, it was transformed into a prison during the French Revolution. Immerse yourself in this unique site, listening to audio commentary that introduces you to notable prisoners like Marie Antoinette.
Continue the tour and discover the magnificent Sainte-Chapelle, celebrated for its Gothic splendor. Marvel at its stunning stained-glass windows dating back to the 13th century, illustrating biblical scenes. This architectural marvel captures the essence of French Gothic design and achieves the impossible: 70% of the building's surface is composed of stained-glass!

L'audiophone est une bonne idée, mais un guide en serait une meilleure, car si les explications sont intéressantes , il m'a été très difficile de les suivre concrètement. Dommage

Une attente de 40 minutes dehors soit un accès à la Chapelle à 12 h10 malgré une réservation pour un créneau à 11 h 30 . Un service Vigipirate sous dimensionné On arrive dans la Chapelle fortement contrarié et pas à même de l’apprécier vraiment De plus des travaux en masquent une partie

Saint Chappell was stunning and we appreciated the efficiency of the staff as they ushered the crowds through. My husband must utilize a cane and an attendant quickly noticed that he might have trouble descending from the 2nd floor and escorted us to a nearby elevator. His attentiveness and courtesy was much appreciated.
