49%Baby-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 49% Baby-Friendly: Babies enter free, but no changing table, no stroller upstairs, and only public courtyard toilets make the visit feasible only with a carrier and swift timing, so suitability is limited.

The location of the “Kings Chapel” is oddly inside an area that is heavily guarded by armed police. The actual building is smaller than I thought (this isn’t Sagrada!). Took a tour and the guide was knowledgeable however his accent was very hard to follow. It’s beautiful inside and out and emerging from the spiral stairs to second floor is pretty awesome. Quick tour is all that is needed. Skip...

Staff & security were very nice and helpful with accessibility accommodati...

It’s truly a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of color—light pours through the stained glass and transforms the space into a vivid, ever-shifting tapestry. Tip: Buy...

The chapel’s stunning stained glass windows are its main attraction, showcasing vibrant colors and intricate medieval designs that create a magical atmosphere inside. Even though it’s a relatively small space, the history and artistry packed into it make it a must-visit for anyone interested in architecture or Parisian history. I'm us...
