Oùcécap’s take

Picture a line drawn due west from the Hôtel de Ville: 0.5 km along, at 270°, it reaches the Conciergerie. From the Panthéon, the Conciergerie is due north, at 358°, 1.1 km away. Its neighbour, the Sainte-Chapelle, is only 0.1 km away: from there, aim north, at 22°. Both stand on the Île de la Cité.
