Is entry really free for children?

Yes — visitors under 18 enter free of charge. EU residents under 26 and disabled visitors accompanied by a carer also enter free. Bring valid ID for concession entry.

What are the opening hours?

Is the Sainte-Chapelle inside the château open all day?

The Sainte-Chapelle closes between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM each day, so plan your visit around that if it is a priority.

Large bags and suitcases are not allowed inside the château, and there are no lockers on site. Travel light or leave luggage at your accommodation.
