Sainte-Chapelle light in April 2027
Short answer: On 15 April 2027: Deep blue and red light reaches deep inside from 14:50 to 19:00, strongest around 16:55; book the 15:45 slot. Every day of April is in the table.
The upper chapel is almost all glass: 15 windows about 15 m tall and a rose window at the west end. Sunlight through the south windows throws blue and red patches across the floor and the opposite wall. The north windows face north-north-east and get no direct sun in visiting hours, which is why one side always looks darker.
