Paris Conciergerie

Conciergerie

It is the first palace in the Ile-de-France for the gentlemen who would have become the kings of France. In the 10th century Hugues Capet used the palace to install his power and then his successors enlarged and modernized it.

At the end of the 14th century it became a prison. Its history ended up tragically for the French monarchs, since the revolutionary terror reached its most violent peak there; it is in this place that Marie Antoinette and her children were locked up.
Every day of the year the prison can be visited; some of the main French prisoners were locked up there. You may be amazed at its curved cellars, belonging to gothic style, and at its historically and architecturally beautiful interiors.
