France Day 10: Sainte Chapelle

For our first day back in Paris, I got us tickets to see Sainte Chapelle. I couldn’t get us tickets to Notre Dame, so I figured that we’d just Go get in the ticket-less line. Unfortunately, one look at that line said that there was no way that we’d be able to actually get into Notre Dame before we needed to be at Sainte Chapelle, so we settled for looking at the outside and figured that we’d try again later to get inside. A lot of the outside was still blocked off for reconstruction. But we got to see the most incredible stained glass at Sainte Chapelle! Then we wandered the Consierge, which was used as a prison during the French Revolution. And we found the cell that Marie Antoinette was imprisoned in. By the time we finished all of that, the fact that we hadn’t had lunch yet was very apparent, so we got a very late lunch/early dinner, went back to the house and finished Harry Potter and went to bed.
