SAINTE-CHAPELLE

This week-end a lovely friend came to Paris, mainly to visit FNAC (bookshop par excellence) and Berthillon (ice cream par excellence) but we also managed to see the Sainte-Chapelle together. This Chapel is tucked in between the jumble of buildings of the Palais de Justice and it is very old, dating from 1248. Now that the sun sets later, we were able to appreciate the bright spring sunshine illuminating its amazing stained-glass (all 600 square metres of it) Upper Chapel for which the Sainte-Chapelle is mostly famous. Sometimes losing an hour is not so bad.
