The Sainte-Chapelle invites children and adults to take part in special tours on October 17 and 18, 2026, to mark the new edition of the Monument Jeu d’Enfant event. Here is the weekend’s program.

Adults never seem to have a dull moment in Paris, thanks to the endless line-up of music and film festivals, parties, cultural parades, and trade shows... Children deserve to have fun just as well and enjoy what the city has to offer! It’s precisely for them that the event Monument Jeu d'Enfant was created: for an entire weekend, the national monuments are scaled to a child’s perspective, offering tours and activities specially designed for young visitors.

Thanks to this major annual gathering, the youngest can also discover the treasures of Paris and Île-de-France’s heritage, all in a fun and educational way! The next edition of Monument Jeu d'Enfant takes place on 17 and 18 October 2026. The All Saints' Day holidays thus kick off with these family-friendly activities.

Children are especially welcome at the Sainte-Chapelle, the thousand-stained-glass monument set in the heart of Paris on the Île de la Cité. It’s a prime chance to come and marvel at this remarkable chapel, bathed in light and color. Discover all the secrets and stories of this place through the visits offered by Monument Jeu d’Enfant.
