THE PRISON OF the REVOLUTION
The Conciergerie is part of the “Palais de la Cité” building complex, the seat of government of the French kings from the 10th to the 14th century. Most of the Conciergerie is still used as a court today. Here you can roam the oldest part of the medieval building, but you can also visit the main prison during the French Revolution.
My Rating:
The positives:
An original setting of French history! While lavish feasts took place in the Middle Ages, many prisoners spent their last days here before execution during the Revolution. The most famous among them was Queen Marie Antoinette.
The negatives:
Apart from the architecture, the medieval halls are rather unspectacular at first glance, since no historical inventory has been preserved.
Tip:
Be sure to book the Histopad (see below) and experience the rooms in their original state via virtual reality.
