Explore a former palace and riverside prison on Paris's medieval Île de la Cité. Witness the prison cells, including Queen Marie Antoinette's, from the French Revolution.
Originally a royal palace in the 14th century, this Gothic structure later served as a prison when the royal family relocated to the Louvre and Vincennes. During the French Revolution, it gained the chilling moniker "the antechamber to the guillotine."
Attractions include Europe's largest medieval hall, the Salle des Gens d’Armes, and the dreaded Bonbec Tower, a torture chamber. The name 'Bonbec' derived from prisoners confessing under duress (bon meaning 'good' and bec meaning 'mouth').
Explore the turbulent history of the French Republic at the Conciergerie. Unlike its former inhabitants, you're free to leave after your visit.
Use the Histopad, an augmented reality tool, to discover medieval and revolutionary spaces, including vanished areas, offering a journey back in time.
