This combo ticket offers a captivating journey through Parisian history, Gothic architecture, and Revolutionary heritage, all in the heart of the Île de la Cité. Begin at Sainte Chapelle, a 13th century masterpiece commissioned by King Louis IX to house sacred relics, including the Crown of Thorns.
