I visited Sainte Chappelle many years ago on a bright and sunny day in December. There were only a few people there and it was so quiet and heavenly. I believe it does or at one time did house what is believed to be the Crown of Thorns. It was so much more spiritually uplifting than Notre Dame which was going through renovations in the 80's. Thanks for posting these photos. 🙂
