“The jewel of the soul is priceless.” ~Sri Guru Granth Sahib
I entered one of the most beautiful places I've ever beheld today, yet most people taking a trip to Paris will miss it for Notre Dame and the Eiffel tower. Don't get me wrong. Those sites are both great, but Sainte Chapel cathedral stands on its own as an ethereal space. The chapel on the second floor of the cathedral has massive, tall stained glass windows spanning nearly the entirety of the room. It was incredible to see the way the light filtered through the glass, making every space look as though it were filled with glittering jewels. I couldn't get quite enough of it.
If we're not really looking at our surroundings, we can easily miss some of the most astounding treasures. It is easy to see the main, famous attractions in Paris. They are by no means the best places to go. This statement applies for every city around the world. The best treasures are sometimes overlooked by the masses.
