I have been to Saint-Chapelle twice but not to Conciergerie. Very interesting. Merci.

I actively look for your posts. I say to my friend "Lets see if my guys have been there." One of my favorite channels.

Thank you so much! This is so nice. 😊

Oh wow, is this place even real? Isn't it impressive, isn't it amazing, isn't it divine and stunning?! And OMG...the second one, I'm speechless. Yes, it's a bit creepy indeed, but in a very unique and somewhat mystical way. Humbled by history and 'invisible to the eyes' but detectable by the senses..... I am loving this episode. Your faces are priceless. I can feel your mixed emotions inner disturbance. I am sharing it with you. Fantastic places! Me, I want to go and see it for myself. Such valuable info from you again. I will watch it several times. Thank you, Anton & Sinan. Love&light guys 🤍👍🤗

We’ve been trying to do this visit for a while, but didn’t get a chance until now. Sainte-Chapelle is even better in person, it had a similar effect to the one we had in Beauvais. Otherworldly is the word we’d use to describe it. As for Conciergerie, watch this space, this is the first episode of a series on the last days and postmortem events related to Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVI. Next week will bring events that followed next. Love & light ✨

Beautiful video. So impressive! As Parisians, I wondered if there is such a thing as an annual pass to give you access to all of the city's museums for the year at one fixed price? Have you ever heard of such a thing?

[@AntonandSinan]

Thank you! Yes, actually there is the Pass from Monuments Nationaux for 45€/year. You get access to 80+ places across France that are run by Centre des monuments nationaux (CMN). Of course, they don’t have everything in Paris under their management, but it’s a good deal to have. www.monuments-nationaux.fr/abonnement-passion-monuments Sainte-Chapelle and Conciergerie are included. Hope this helps! 😊

Thank you guys history reveals the dark side of mankind

[@AntonandSinan]

It’s one of the reasons people should be aware of history. 😊

The Sainte Chapelle is an absolutely extraordinary monument. All the science of medieval architects is expressed here: to succeed in holding up such high walls with so few supports and to achieve a balanced "descente de charges" (I don't know the technical word in English) is a prodigy. The famous relic (the Crown of Thorns) cost a veritable fortune when Louis IX went to buy it in Jerusalem in 1238. It is estimated to have cost the equivalent of almost 6 million euros, or half the royal budget. Of course, it's probably a fake, like many relics (a good deal for the seller !), and there are other cities in Europe where there is also the ‘real’ Crown of Thorns, or at least pieces of it (Pisa, Bologna, Munich, etc).... But keeping the crown of thorns in Paris was not only an act of devotion, but above all an affirmation of the king's political greatness. 🙂

[@AntonandSinan]

Salut, it’s Anton. Perhaps it’s best not to know if the crown is fake or not. Just like we don’t know if Marie-Antoinette did or didn’t have any physical affair with de Fersen. It’s best not to know, I suppose. I personally think we have a 50/50 chance (for both), but that’s just me being a romantic 😂 I find the story of Louis IX to be interesting to say the least, he apparently was righteous, as he would often carry out the justice on his people himself, although I doubt it would always be under a tree, it’s probably just a poetic frill. And incredible how his remains were distributed all over. Crazy, if you think about it. As for descente de charges, maybe the load distribution, or load lowering would be the way to describe it in English, but I got what you mean.

@@AntonandSinan "we don’t know if Marie-Antoinette did or didn’t have any physical affair with de Fersen" Mmmm.... A number of letters have been found which do not leave much doubt about this bedroom affair (but let us cast a veil of modesty over this matter, to preserve your romantic feelings). 🙂 "...incredible how his remains were distributed all over." Not really. It was quite common in the Middle Ages for the bodies of kings to be cut into pieces. For example, the famous Richard I of England (Richard the Lionheart) has three burial sites: his brain and entrails are in Châlus (Limousin), where he was killed by an arrow, his heart is in Rouen, and the rest is in Fontefraud Abbey (Loire Valley), next to his father Henry II and his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine.

if you get the combined ticket from the official website, you are only given the option to choose a timed entry for Sainte-Chapelle but not the Conciergerie. However, if you purchase the Conciergerie ticket as a standalone ticket, then in this case, you ARE given the option to choose a time slot for the Conciergerie. Is there a way to choose a time slot for the Conciergerie when purchasing the combined ticket? Or does the time slot not really matter for the Conciergerie and you can go there at any time with an online ticket? Thank you so much for your help and attention!!!!

[@AntonandSinan]

What we did was get the combined ticket via Sainte-Chapelle and chose the time slot there. When we arrived , we first went to Sainte-Chapelle and then to Conciergerie. When we exited Sainte-Chapelle, we actually left the whole complex and entered Conciergerie from the boulevard. There was no issue entering Conciergerie without a time slot. What we would recommend is to get the time slot for Sainte-Chapelle and go there first as it is far more crowded. Then you can go to Conciergerie afterwards.

@@AntonandSinan thank you so so much for the super useful advice!!!!!!

@@linkinthebio27 you are welcome! Enjoy your visit 😊

[@deepakec7]

How much time would it take to complete both ?

[@AntonandSinan]

Without rushing it took us about 3 hours, but we are slow 😂 So probably 2 hours is more than enough.
