Sainte-Chapelle
The Sainte-Chapelle also called the Holy Chapel in English is a beautiful Gothic-style church located at the center of Paris, not far from the Cathedral of Notre-Dame. Built in 1238, the chapel is considered as one of the best buildings of Gothic architecture. Sainte-Chapelle was the home of one of the most important relics of Christianity: Christ's Crown of Thorns. Here, you will have the chance to look at its impressive 13th-century stained glass. It is a beautiful piece of art with florid style tracer.

Indeed, since late 2008 to 2018, the bridge was covered in padlocks, also called love locks. Tourists used to write their name on them before attaching them to the side of the bridge and then throwing the key in the Seine.
