La Sainte-Chapelle (English: The Holy Chapel) is a Gothic chapel on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris, France. It was built during the second half of 13th Century by Louis IX to house the relics of the Passion of Christ, including Christ’s crown of thorns. Adorned with a unique collection of fifteen glass panels and a large rose window forming a veritable wall of light, Sainte-Chapelle is a gem of French gothic architecture.

I loved Sainte-Chapelle. I happened to arrive when a free English tour was starting, and we had the kookiest tour guide. She very dramatically described everything from the flying buttress system to the places in the glass where the egomaniacal king wrote himself into Biblical stories, often as the Christ-like figure!
I really enjoy your site, for the design, for the videos, but also for the idea of a yearlong honeymoon. Glad you had fun!
