Sainte-Chapelle light in September 2027
Short answer: On 15 September 2027: Deep blue and red light reaches deep inside from 13:45 to 18:25, strongest around 16:20; book the 15:15 slot. Every day of September 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.
