Great tour. A few ticket glitches - Amazing experience but had trouble with entrance / audio guide. Saint Chapelle did not recognise the booking but provided entrance & audio on goodwill. Well worth the trip but would recommend booking a time.

Don’t purchase - There were 3 parties with us with this code to scan and they told us they were not valid. No one to answer our questions they just shook there heads saying not valid. No to mention it’s pretty misleading since the church is still closed being repaired. Very discouraging.
