A little night music

at Sainte-Chapelle, the private chapel built by Louis XV to house the crown of thorns.

The left side of the chapel, interior and exterior, were covered in scaffolding inside fabric, and we were too close to get a photo of the exterior of the chapel.  We entered through the department of justice\, shown below.

There was plenty of light to appreciate the stained glass windows for which the chapel is famous, and lots of time during the concert to study the details of the ornate altar.
