La Sainte-Chapelle (anglais)

The Sainte Chapelle Originating from the desire of Saint Louis to provide a bejewelled casket worthy of housing his collection of relics, the Sainte Chapelle offers the visitor the splendour of its stained glass windows, « this glass curtain, this ardent confession made of pulverized colours and luminous points that have less value as stories than as a simultaneous hymn and a permanent explosion [...] Here is Paradise regained » (Paul Claudel, The Eye Listens).
