50% Deposit_Conciergerie, Sainte Chapelle and Notre Dame Family tour March 26th
Right in the heart of Paris is a monument that saw the French kings slowly but surely build up absolute power and then lose it all, isn't it ironic?
It (almost) all happened at the Conciergerie, known as Queen Marie Antoinette's prison, ...over a few centuries, but don't worry we can summarize a little to make it fit into a short tour!!
There we can marvel at one of the most incredible example of Gothic craftmanship, imagine what to cook in a royal kitchen and get emotional when hearing about the queen's tragic end.
To cheer us up, let's walk a few steps and discover the stunning hidden Saint Chapel. Imagine the equivalent of 3 tennis courts of coloured stained glass...
We'll let our jaw drop for a few minutes and then I would suggest reading some of the stories and trying to decipher the message a 28 year-old king wanted to send by building such a wonder. Was it only about religion?
Last but not least, we will conclude our tour at Notre Dame Cathedral, the crown jewel of the island!
Important note about Notre Dame:
Group ticketing for Notre Dame will be put in place either in March or April. Tickets availability for guides is therefore not guaranteed for our tour.
If we manage to secure group tickets by March 26th, we will adapt the tour and spend a litlle less time at the Conciergerie ans Sainte Chapelle, in order to include a guided tour inside Notre Dame.
If we do not manage to get group tickets for Notre Dame, I will give you some insight from outside, so you can enjoy a self guided tour aftewards if you wish.
