There are monuments emblematic of a man: the 13th Century Saint Chapelle erected in the heart of Paris upon orders from Louis IX, Saint Louis, reflects all about this charismatic monarch. Everything in its construction echoes the time of its splendour, the 13th Century, which was renamed ‘Golden century of Saint Louis’ by historians.
