“I wanted to get a last minute ticket for Sainte- Chappell but they were sold out. This was a great way to get a time, ticket and self guided tour. I was only in line for a short time and was able to take my time viewing the amazing stain glass. I've been to Paris a dozen times and never visited- well worth it!!!”
