Sainte-Chapelle
45 minutes
Gothic art is the first truly grand and unique gift the French culture and history bestowed upon the world. Notre Dame, which we also love, understand and visit, is grandiose, monumental, majestic; but, Sainte Chapelle presents us with the same inspiration, same idea and same ambition, only compressed into a much smaller edifice. It is therefore all the more impressive; truly, it is a perfectly cut jewel, with not a single superfluous square inch. Our guides will enjoy sharing their passion for Gothic art with you; they will gladly explain the meaning of colour in medieval period, symbolism of contracted and expanded space, elevated mystery of light, and ingenious engineering behind this chapel. Learn about the difference between the chapel, church and a cathedral; between the holy and the sacred; between the profane and the consecrated space; about the role relics had in the medieval period; finally, about what truly constitutes the house of God.
