Tips & Advice

  • Arrive 45 minutes before the concert, because doors close 15 minutes before the start and latecomers are turned away.
  • Keep your ticket ready before the security line, since you can't pass the Palais de Justice screening without one.
  • Leave large bags, glass bottles, aerosols, scooters and skateboards at your hotel, as all are banned at the security check.
  • If you book a Passion Monuments reduced ticket, bring the pass and valid ID, because both are required for entry.
  • With the Wine & Tapas option on December 24 or 31, plan your drinks before the concert, since the offer isn't available afterwards.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Wine & Tapas and Champagne ticket categories add a drink at a nearby venue, on top of the concert.
  • On December 24 and 31, the Wine & Tapas and Champagne options are available only before the concert.
  • Holders of the Passion Monuments pass get a reduced price in both seating categories, and must show the pass and valid ID.
  • About a tenth of the stained glass is covered by tarps during renovation work.

Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, plus waltzes and polkas by Johann Strauss. The Orchestre Classik Ensemble performs with violinist David Braccini. The program may change.

How early should we arrive?

The organizer recommends arriving 45 minutes early. Doors close 15 minutes before the concert starts, and latecomers are not admitted.

What is the security check like?

Sainte-Chapelle is part of the Palais de Justice, so there's a mandatory screening and security check. You need your ticket to get through. Motorcycle helmets, aerosols, knives and sharp objects, scissors, glass bottles, large bags or luggage, scooters, skateboards and rollerblades are banned.

How do the Wine & Tapas and Champagne options work?

Both are served away from the chapel. For Wine & Tapas, show your e-ticket at La Chope des Compagnons before or after the concert. The Champagne option is at Brasserie Les Deux Palais. On December 24 and 31, both are available only before the concert.

Can we bring children?

Yes, but every child must be with an adult. Strollers must be small and foldable.
