• It is a former prison, now a revolutionary court and Marie-Antoinette's prison
• At the Conciergerie, the old revolutionary cells have been reconstructed with wax figures, which makes the tour very suggestive?
• One can see in particular the reconstituted cell of Marie-Antoinette

The Sainte-Chapelle

• The Holy Chapel is a jewel of the gothic radiating, built by Saint Louis in the heart of the Palais de la Cité
• It is located next to the Conciergerie, in the Palais de Justice
• It is distinguished by the elegance of its architecturewith the almost total removal of the walls in the upper chapel and the presence of its 1113 immense stained glass windows
• Go preferably when the weather is good (it is when the sun penetrates through the stained glass windows that the magic happens) and above all BOOK or go there early in the morning!
