Make sure you go upstairs...We almost did not see the whole reason to visit...until we saw someone coming down the stairs..
Before leaving for Paris, we visited Ste. Chapelle's website and purchased tickets to one of the evening concerts offered in the main second-floor chapel in the summer. The young string players and vocalist were exceptional, and NOTHING can equal the beauty of Mozart resonating through that glorious space. Plus, if you book a 7:00 concert, you get to be there...
