Sainte Chapelle, Paris France [View all]
Hello DU!
We were watching a series on Engineering Failures and they had one on a Gothic church outside of Paris that had collapsed after being the tallest man-made structure in the world up to that point. Until, you know, it partially collapsed.
Anyway, in the show they had pictures of Sainte Chapelle as a good example of Gothic architecture. The exterior of the building is interesting but the real magic is inside. All the stunning stained glass windows!
These pictures are from our first visit in November 2019. It's not as well known as Notre Dame but it's on the same island, steps away, and WAY smaller. I think I prefer it.
If I get a chance I'll post some photos of the construction being done on Notre Dame. What a monumental amount of work the French people have done to repair and restore this incredible building.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
RDR
