Saint Chapel

Three days in Paris = pure magic! If you ever wonder how to make every minute count, bookmark this packed itinerary. Here’s how I made the most of every single second—expect iconic sights, dazzling views, yummy food, and a little shopping spree. Ready, set, Paris! Day 1: Early Bird Wins Paris 🕖 I landed in Paris at 7:30am, dropped my luggage in a locker, and dashed straight to the legendary Eiffel Tower (Champ de Mars, 5 Avenue Anatole France, 75007 Paris—opens 9:30am to 11:45pm, last elevator up 11pm)! Beating the lines, I rode up in the *first* elevator of the day—no crowds, just jaw-dropping 360° city views. Literally felt like the main character! Snapped epic pics before heading to the Louvre Museum (Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris, open daily except Tuesdays). The Louvre was sooo good! Art overload until midday, followed by a delish lunch at a nearby café. Afterwards, I set off for a walking tour: first stop, the magical Sainte-Chapelle (8 Boulevard du Palais, 75001 Paris, open 9am to 7pm, pre-book tickets!). Those stained glass windows are actual goals. Notre-Dame Cathedral was next (6 Parvis Notre-Dame – Pl. Jean-Paul II, 75004 Paris)—free entry! I treated myself to a cozy coffee break before hopping on a bus to The Pantheon (Place du Panthéon, 75005 Paris, open 10am to 6pm, ticket needed). The Greek-style vibes here are unreal. From the Pantheon, I bussed over to Paris’s very own Statue of Liberty (Île aux Cygnes, open 24/7), then finished the day with a river cruise (Port de la Bourdonnais, open 10am to 10:30pm). Sunset on the Seine is *next level* 💯. After the evening magic, grabbed dinner and finally checked in to my hotel. Day 2: Museums and Moulin Rouge 💃🏼 Museum marathon! Started at Grand Palais (3 Avenue du Général Eisenhower, 75008 Paris) and Petit Palais (Avenue Winston Churchill, 75008 Paris), then chilled in the beautiful Tuileries Gardens (Place de la Concorde, 75001 Paris). Next up: Palais Garnier (Opéra national de Paris, 8 Rue Scribe, 75009 Paris)—took breaks + lunch between the famous stops! The night? Oh, it’s showtime! Scored Moulin Rouge tickets (82 Boulevard de Clichy, 75018 Paris—book in advance) and it was THE highlight. Absolute Parisian vibes! After the show, strolled the "erotic" street near Moulin Rouge for laughs (PG-rated, don’t worry 😂) and headed back to the hotel to crash. Day 3: Shop Till You Drop & Bookworm Feels 🛍️📚 Last day = shopping spree in Paris’s fab shopping districts (Galeries Lafayette, 40 Boulevard Haussmann, 75009 Paris, open 10am to 8pm). Ended the trip at Shakespeare and Company Café (37 Rue de la Bûcherie, 75005 Paris, open 10am to 8pm), chilling in their dreamy bookshop, totally lost in the pages until it was time to grab my bags and head to the airport. Hot Tips for Smooth Paris Vibes: 1. Score unlimited public transit with the Navigo pass (€12/day, airport lines not included). 2. If you’re on a museum binge, get the Museum Pass (€75/day)—saves major €€ and time!

⛪Sainte-Chapelle🌍 🕰️Construction Date: AD 1248 ⌛Sainte-Chapelle (Church Sainte-Chapelle) is one of the most iconic Gothic churches located in the center of Paris, France. The church was funded by King Louis IX of France. While the exact construction period remains unclear, historical records indicate that most of the church was completed in 1248. Louis IX intended Sainte-Chapelle to house sacred relics from the Passion of Christ, such as the Crown of Thorns and fragments of the True Cross. ⭐The most famous feature of Sainte-Chapelle is its stunning rose 🌹 stained glass windows. These windows are masterpieces of craftsmanship, showcasing vibrant colors and exuding an aura of mystery and romance.

The first stop was Sainte-Chapelle. The dazzling stained glass windows poured light all the way up to the ceiling, and the colors were truly breathtaking. It felt like encountering the real art of Paris that no photo could ever capture. Afterward, I strolled through the lively streets of Paris, which felt even more vibrant than Piazza Navona, and made my way to Montmartre Hill. The view of Paris from in front of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica was like a painting. As I wandered through the alleys, I noticed street artists sketching, creating an atmosphere as if time had stopped. Just walking through the area made the trip feel worthwhile. The day ended with the Eiffel Tower at night. As evening fell, people gathered in groups at Champ de Mars Park, and when the clock struck the hour, the sparkling light show began. In that moment, it felt like everyone held their breath, sharing the awe together. If the first day was this perfect, I can only imagine how amazing the rest of the trip will be.

The first stop on my Paris itinerary was Sainte-Chapelle. While its exterior may seem unassuming, the moment you step inside and see the stained glass windows, it takes your breath away. The sacred hues created by light streaming through the glass are still vivid in my mind. It felt as if the stories of the Bible were coming to life through the light. Next, I climbed Montmartre Hill and sat in front of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, gazing down at the city of Paris for quite some time. The street performances by artists, the small hidden shops and dessert cafes in every alley... I never imagined Parisian life could be this charming. Buying a tart from a petite café and enjoying it under the sunlight was a picture-perfect moment for me. In the afternoon, I passed by the Arc de Triomphe and headed to the Eiffel Tower. The radial streets viewed from atop the Arc de Triomphe were impressive, but the sunset beneath the Eiffel Tower was the epitome of 'Parisian vibes.' As the lights began to twinkle and the Eiffel Tower started to sparkle, I felt a lump in my throat. It was such a perfect day that I wondered if it was even possible for a first day to be this amazing. Paris is, indeed, Paris.

I visited Saint-Chapelle and Conciergerie on the last day of my Museum Pass with an open run. Even though I arrived before 9 AM, there were already many people, and I had to wait for a long time. As a result, despite arriving before 9 AM, I remember entering after 10 AM. I was quite nervous because the Museum Pass was about to expire. Security checks at Saint-Chapelle are very strict. In my case, I got scolded for using two baskets, which felt unnecessary 😭. Once you enter, the chapel is divided into the first and second floors. The first-floor view might be a bit underwhelming, but the highlight of Saint-Chapelle is the second-floor chapel. The stained glass windows are incredibly stunning. Even though I visited on a somewhat cloudy day, I could still feel the light shining through. I regretted waiting for over an hour and even considered leaving, but in hindsight, I would have regretted it more if I hadn’t gone in. I believe the one-hour wait was worth it, and I recommend visiting with the expectation of waiting. Conciergerie is located right next to Saint-Chapelle. I entered just 10 minutes before my Museum Pass expired and was able to get in without any waiting. They also provide free guides here, which support Korean. The guide is even on a tablet, so the quality is excellent. At Conciergerie, I was particularly impressed by the space where Marie Antoinette spent her final days. The video explanations detail her last moments leading up to her execution, which was quite shocking and one of the most memorable parts for me. It was an opportunity to learn about the final days of a queen in great detail. Considering the many distortions surrounding Marie Antoinette, I felt there might be some unfair aspects to her story. If you’re interested in French Revolution history, this is a must-visit. Museum Pass holders can enter for free!

✨This sacred stained glass window now sits in the Sainte-Chapelle, referred to as the 'Jewel of French Gothic period', built by Louis IX in the 13th century. Originally constructed to house precious relics, it later became famous for its 15 huge stained glass windows🪟. ✨These 15 windows can be considered masterpieces of architectural art, depicting not only 1113 biblical stories, narrating both the Old and New Testaments, but also illustrating how Louis IX brought the Holy Crown of Thorns👑 of Jesus back from the East to Europe. ✨The interplay of light and color on the windows further accentuates the sanctity and tranquility of the church, with the vivid stained glass patterns giving an illusion of being present in the realm of heaven, as if the holy songs of angels are floating in one's ears🕊️.
