Presentation

Conference tour of the Sainte-Chapelle:

In the middle of the 13th century, Louis IX had the Sainte-Chapelle built at the heart of his Parisian residence, the Palais de la Cité. Designed as a monumental reliquary, it housed Christ's Crown of Thorns.

Adorned with a unique set of fifteen stained glass windows and a rose window forming veritable walls of light, the Sainte-Chapelle is the jewel of French Radiant Gothic.

Conference tour of the Palais de la cité and its 2 majestic monuments!

An in-depth conference tour of the Palais de la Cité, including the Sainte-Chapelle, built by Saint Louis to house the relics of the Passion of Christ, and the Conciergerie, the first royal residence under the Capetians, embellished and enlarged by Philip the Fair to house the judicial administration.

From the Middle Ages to the French Revolution, between history and Gothic architecture, between technical prowess and splendour in the service of royal power, the lecturer will give a complete tour of the spaces in these two monuments.
