Experience the beauty and history of Paris with entry to two iconic sites included in your Paris Essentials Pass: the Sainte Chapelle and the Conciergerie. These historic landmarks offer a deep dive into the rich cultural and historical tapestry of the city.

The Sainte-Chapelle, built in the 13th century, is famous for its stunning, towering Gothic stained glass windows, which are among the most beautiful and important in the world. These windows, which cover almost the entire wall surface of the chapel, tell the biblical story from the Creation to the recovery of the relics of the Passion of Christ in over 600 square meters. The chapel was commissioned by King Louis IX to house these holy relics, including Christ's crown of thorns.

The Conciergerie originally served as a royal palace and was later converted into a prison. It is known as the place where Marie-Antoinette was imprisoned during the French Revolution before being led to the guillotine. The Conciergerie was part of the medieval Palais de la Cité and is now a museum documenting the dark history of the Revolution and its former life as a royal residence. Visitors can see Marie-Antoinette's cell as well as other prison cells and the impressive Gothic halls of the palace.

Optional Walking Tour: For those looking to enrich their visit, an optional guided walking tour is available. This tour starts at the historic Pont Neuf bridge, leading you through the bouquinistes along the Seine, showcasing the oldest clock in Paris, and offering insights into the central role of the Palace of Justice in French history. The tour concludes with self-guided exploration of the Sainte Chapelle and the Conciergerie.
