...of those they are delicious. La Sainte-Chapelle A jewel of gothic architecture, the Sainte-Chapelle was built in the thirteenth century by order of Saint-Louis to contain the crown of thorns. The high chapel with its 600 sq. metres of windows, 2/3 of which are authentic, offer one of the most complete sets of stained glass window from this era. It’s ceiling is covered with magnificent paintings. Classical concerts are sometimes given in here and it always tremendous to listen to. 4, boulevard du Palais, 75001 Paris Métro : cité RER B Saint-Michel L’arc de triomphe I haven’ t ever visited it, so I made some research to tell you more about it Commissioned in 1806 by Napoleon, shortly after his victory at Austerlitz, it was not finished until 1836.

If you were to come by plane, you would probably arrive at the Charles de Gaulle airport, and then would travel by 'route B' suburban railway (RER) which takes you all the way through Paris so makes transfer onto a metro line for your hotel very easy. **** Gare du Nord and the Metropolitain (Metro) **** The Eurostar arrives into the heart of Paris at the Gare du Nord, having taken the traveller through the suburbs which at times look very run down.
