Sainte-Chapelle - Dainty and Pretty
One of the prettiest churches I have ever seen.
There are 15 stained-glass windows that are separated by narrow columns that soar up to the ceiling which is studded by golden stars against a blue background.
There is a lower chapel was was originally the place for servants and commoners to worship – now mostly taken over by the gift shop.
This church is indeed one of the ‘must sees’ on the Ile de la Cité. It is a beautiful church. After our visit we walked around to the Conciergerie which has more brutal past.

Tozeur, Tunisia
Tozeur is an oasis town full of interest. The medina buildings have intriguing brick patterns on their walls, there is a great museum, it’s popular with trekies because of its association with the Star Wars film, and there’s a quiet palm grove to wander through.
