The Sacré-Coeur Basilica is one of the most visited monuments in Paris, with over 11 million annual visitors.

How To Visit The Sainte-Chapelle This Year

The Sainte-Chapelle (ie, Holy Chapel) is one of the most beautiful reliquaries in the world. Constructed in the former Palais de la Cité, it was intended to house very important treasures of Christianity (like the Crown of Thorns) and it’s estimated that the Holy Relics acquired by Louis IX cost three times the construction of the chapel! Apart from the Sainte-Chapelle, the only vestige of the Palais de la Cité is the Conciergerie, known as the prison of Marie Antoinette!
