St Chapelle & Palais de Justice
The famous St Chapelle is a medieval jewel box in stone and glass, one of the great masterpieces of Gothic art & architecture. The two storey royal chapel stands amidst the complex of the Palais de Justice in the centre of Paris (on the Ile de la Cite, close to Notre Dame). As a result one has to pass through security in order to visit the chapel.
Frustratingly it was closed to the public at the start of our stay owing to George Bush having stayed in or visited the area, thus we had to wait a few days to be able to get inside.
