About This Tour

A private tour for your group only — Sainte-Chapelle's real stained glass, the genuine Conciergerie (a former royal palace and revolutionary prison), and the Palais de Justice. This is a private tour for your group only. Real stops include Sainte-Chapelle's genuine stained glass, the Conciergerie — a real former royal palace and revolutionary-era prison — and the Palais de Justice.

Commissioned by King Louis IX and consecrated in 1248, Sainte-Chapelle was built to house his prized relics of Christ's Passion, most notably the Crown of Thorns. Its upper chapel's 15 soaring stained-glass windows depict 1,113 scenes from Genesis through to Louis IX's own acquisition of the relics — about two-thirds of the glass is still the genuine 13th-century original, despite damage during the French Revolution and a careful 19th-century restoration, making it one of the most complete surviving medieval stained-glass collections on Earth.

A few steps away, the Conciergerie tells a very different story. Built as the main royal palace of the Capetian kings from the 10th through the 14th centuries, it later became a court and, most infamously, a prison once the monarchy relocated to the grander Louvre. During the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, nearly 2,800 prisoners passed through its cells on their way to the guillotine, including Queen Marie Antoinette, who was held here before her execution on 16 October 1793 — a history that earned the building its grim nickname, 'the antechamber to the guillotine.'

The two buildings sit within the same Île de la Cité complex as the Palais de Justice, France's historic judicial center — still an active courthouse today, built on ground that has served Parisian justice in one form or another for centuries. Seeing all three together gives a genuinely layered picture of how royal power, revolutionary upheaval, and the modern French legal system have occupied the same small island.
