Neighborhood and Visits

Built in the mid thirteenth century at the request of King St. Louis to house the relics acquired under his reign, the Sainte Chapelle is a must in the style of Gothic architectural monuments in Paris.

A few steps from the Hotel de Ville in Paris, west of the Marais, the Pompidou Centre was inaugurated in 1977 to house the National Museum of Modern Art, and has become a vast complex of public access to culture.
