Unfortunately, the line to get in was down the sidewalk since it was still holiday crowds in Paris. It was fairly organized although only one security guard was running up and down the line to monitor. There isn't a ton to see here besides the windows though . It's one downstairs area that has stuff for purchase. The upstairs area is accessed by some narrow winding stairs that lead into a beautiful spacious area surrounded by large stained glass windows. The windows themselves are original and beautifully maintained. I did some research and found they were removed or boarded up to save them from damage during the wars. Photos don't do this place justice. If you have time, it's definitely worth a look.

This place was simply magical and one of the highlights of our Paris trip…read more Make sure you book in advance to gain entry. Even though we initially missed our 1pm entry, we were able to come in at 3pm by the skin of our teeth. When you first come in, there is a ground level gift shop that you can peruse. I got a beautiful felt and sequin ornament and we also picked up a couple of gifts for family as well. Once you make your way to the chapel portion, be prepared to be amazed. My jaw hit the floor as I took in all of the gorgeous stained glass and the way the light filters in and just makes all of the jewel tones sparkle. Once you have your fill of picture taking I do suggest that you relish in the moment and just take it in. Whether or not you are religious, it is worth taking the time to visit and bask in it. I was so glad that we got the opportunity to visit Saint-Chapelle as we were not able to go inside Notre Dame during this visit. The exterior of this chapel in no way can compare to the interior experience.

Built between 1532 and 1633 in an area of Paris that was once the home to the country's largest food market. (Today there's a modern mall across the street.) The original chapel was built in 1213, dedicated to Saint Agnes. It is noted for its immense dimensions, the large organ, and the great wealth of art it holds. Having just visited Notre Dame the day before, I hope Église Saint-Eustache will soon get a restoration. This is an incredible architectural achievement inside and out. And I would love to see it in its original brighter glory.

We don't know why he married in Paris as there were many Synagogues in East London. Could the couple have been on their way to London as immigrants ? It is fortunate for all of his descendants that he made the decision to continue his journey. I have the rather battered Ketouba, all in Hebrew . The registration number on the document is either 353 or 1353. Woolf Friedberg's son, my Grandfather , Barnett Friedberg, was born not long after the wedding, in East London. He became a Fleet Street journalist and had seven children. He has many descendants both here in England and in France where I lived for several years and where my brother and his family now live. This is the first time I've looked up the synagogue on the internet. What a beautiful place and how new it must have been when they married !

The High Alter and Chancel area are incredibly beautiful. I have attached some photos of it, along with the Organ pipes above the Narthex. The Jesuit architects Étienne Martellange and François Derand, built the present building at the request of Louis XIII in the early seventeenth century. LOL What makes the church important is it's Baroque style, rather then the prevalent Gothic of the time. It's introduction changed Parisian religious architecture and is exquisite to see. On PBS Masterpiece Theater's Les Misérables, Cosette and Marius were married here. Sadly like Notre-Dame, Église Saint-Paul Saint-Louis du Marais was plundered during the French Revolution when many of its artworks were destroyed.

Entrance to the basilica is free, and it's opened from 6am until 10:30pm. It was built with the "self cleaning" Chateau-Lando stone from France, and the rain and weathering keeps it white. Crowds linger on the steps and around the overlook areas. Vendors try to sell you cheap locks to put on the surrounding fencing (the locks covering the fences-even with signs saying "no locks permitted" are an eyesore and should be removed). Security line checks are long and in February 2026 we waited about 30 or 40 mins to enter. I can only imagine what chaos it is in the high season. The basicalla is beautful inside and well worth checking out, although quiet and repect are required as there are masses going on. For this visit the crypt was not available to enter, which was highly disappointing There is also a small train trolly like vehicle right outside that will take you on a 30 minute ride around Monmartre for 12 euros.

But the main draw was getting to have a private balcony attached to our room, perfect for a lil pain au chocolat and ppl watching. Also the sweetest people work at the reception desk. I got randomly fixated on the Swiss-made wood-paneled minifridge that looked like it's been around since the 1970s, but you know what? It's probably better made than most fridges today. If there's something you need to keep cold just remember to leave a key card in the electricity slot so it keeps running. What we didn't love -- the two twin beds pushed together which gradually scootched apart. But to be fair the Deluxe room we booked said it would either have a double bed or two twins. The bathroom was interesting. There isn't a big enough shield to block the shower water so, when you shower, it's like you're journeying deep into the rainforest. Everything in the bathroom -- toiletries, towels -- gets soaked. All in all though, the location is great, the rooms are cute, and this is a somewhat reasonably priced way to do a Paris stay with a balcony.

As we were getting our bags from the car that delivered us, Violette, the front desk attendant at the time, came out to greet us and help us get our bags in. We arrived well before check-in time but when we asked if it was possible to get in our room early, she said for a small fee we could. She ushered us to the lounge to wait the few minutes until the room was being readied, offering us coffee and tea. A few minutes later she came in with a tray with espresso, tea, and a couple pastries and croissants. We could not have felt more welcomed and pampered. The fantastic service continued with Nadia - the breakfast host - where each morning she greeted us, tolerated our attempts to communicate in her language, and got to know our preferences. The breakfast buffet was perfectly tastefully laid out and tasty. We were treated to warm hugs on our last morning. And finally, when we were departing and trying to arrange an Uber ride, my App was not working. The front desk attendant at that time - Patricia - went above and beyond by helping us arrange a ride and keeping us updated. Merci beaucoup mesdames!!
