Aesthetic Enhancement | "The Medieval Stained Glass Windows of the Parisian Cathedral"
✨This sacred stained glass window now sits in the Sainte-Chapelle, referred to as the 'Jewel of French Gothic period', built by Louis IX in the 13th century. Originally constructed to house precious relics, it later became famous for its 15 huge stained glass windows🪟.
✨These 15 windows can be considered masterpieces of architectural art, depicting not only 1113 biblical stories, narrating both the Old and New Testaments, but also illustrating how Louis IX brought the Holy Crown of Thorns👑 of Jesus back from the East to Europe.
✨The interplay of light and color on the windows further accentuates the sanctity and tranquility of the church, with the vivid stained glass patterns giving an illusion of being present in the realm of heaven, as if the holy songs of angels are floating in one's ears🕊️.

Inside the Sainte-Chapelle, you can admire beautiful carved stained glass windows, of which 15 large painted windows depict all the stories from the New and Old Testaments. Particularly noteworthy is a large circular rose window on the second floor of the chapel, each panel of which tells a biblical story or character, requiring careful appreciation. In addition, you can also visit some religious artworks inside the Sainte-Chapelle, such as the Crown of Thorns and fragments of the True Cross. These precious artworks attract a large number of tourists. In general, the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris is a building full of historical and cultural value, worth visiting for tourists.

Paris || A nanny-level guide before traveling to Paris, reading this one is enough.
If this is your first time in Paris, here are some things to note before your trip that may help you have a safer and more enjoyable journey.
💫💫——Accommodation Section——💫💫
🏠Accommodation: Finding a high cost-effective Paris hotel has always been a headache for many people. Pay attention‼️📌Try to avoid these areas: part of the 10th district, part of the 17th district, the 18th district, the 19th district, and the 20th district. If you don't know how to distinguish the districts, it's actually very simple. For example, in the postal code 75019, the last two digits represent the district.
💫💫-Visiting Article-💫💫
🕌Museum visit: Visiting museums is an essential activity when visiting Paris. Be sure to book tickets online in advance, as many museums often sell out on holidays in France. Especially on Mondays and Tuesdays, most museums are closed on one of these two days. For example, closed on Mondays: Palace of Versailles, Musée d'Orsay. Closed on Tuesdays: Louvre Museum, Centre Pompidou.
A four-day museum pass 🎫 is timed from the first entry into a museum. On the first day, you can go to the Pompidou (opens at 11am) and use the pass for four days to enter other museums at 10am on the fifth day. The attractions with asterisks on the pass require reservations: the Louvre, Versailles, the Orangerie Museum, the Sainte-Chapelle, the Paris Naval Academy, the City of Architecture and Heritage, and the Jewish Art and History Museum can be purchased on their respective official websites.
💫Additional information: Louvre Museum: Avoid queuing at the glass pyramid entrance and queue at the inverted pyramid underground. To save money on tickets for Versailles Palace, take Metro Line 9 to the Pont de S e vres terminal station, then take bus 171 directly with one subway ticket.
💫💫-Safety Section-💫💫
👣Travel safety: There are many pickpockets in Paris, so before traveling, you can prepare a backpack 🎒 and a simple shopping bag, and try to avoid carrying exaggerated brand-name bags 👜 when visiting tourist attractions and crowded places. When taking the subway 🚇, pay special attention to your phone 📱, and try to write emergency contact information on a portable notepad 🗒️ so that you can get the necessary help as quickly as possible in case of an emergency.
💫💫——Food Edition——💫💫
🍱Food Guide: Paris is a paradise for foodies, and many people check out a lot of food guides before they set off. Don't believe them too much, and don't spend too much time on them. Sometimes the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. If you want to eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant, you definitely need to make a reservation in advance. There are some small restaurants on the streets near Paris tourist attractions, with a lively atmosphere and reasonable prices, which can make you happy. A real French dinner probably costs around 40-50 euros. French street food is terrible, and you can find cheap sandwiches in every bakery. At the airport, Herme macarons may sell more than Macarons.
💫💫-Internet Chapter-💫💫
📱Unlimited network: Orange SIM cards are available at the replay store in Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.
💫💫——Transportation Section——💫💫
1. Buses are difficult to use, taxis are expensive, learn to use the subway.
2. Don't assume that cars will stop for you when you cross the road, take a second look.
3. Don't underestimate the time needed to return to the airport, as you may be delayed by traffic congestion, slow airport security checks, demonstrations or strikes that disrupt your plans.

I have been to friends in Paris. Everyone should not miss the famous Notre Dame de Paris. In fact, on the island of Xitun, about 500 meters away from Notre Dame, there is also a very low-key, little-known Saint Chapel. It used to be the royal chapel of the French royal family. The church has a small footprint but is extremely luxurious. There is no pillar in the middle of the long and narrow hall. The dozen or so tall colored windows around it occupy most of the wall. Each window depicts the story related to the Bible. . Standing in the empty hall, looking up and looking around, as if surrounded by the light of various colors, it is amazing!

Paris Saint Chapel, which was built by King Louis IX of France to preserve the sacred crowns and crucifixions of Jesus' crucifixion. The cost of the entire church is far less than the price of the sacred objects. The Saint Chapel is small in size, but the carved glass on the top tells the story of more than 1,000 Bibles. Each painting is an artistic treasure, which is really shocking.
