Download it before your visit to the Conciergerie, and you will discover a monument that has been witness to some of the greatest hours of French history:

- A splendid Gothic palace. From the medieval period the Palais de la Cité retains the rooms built under Philippe le Bel (around 1314): the Guards Hall and the immense Salle des Gens d'Armes (Hall of Men-at-Arms), the largest gothic hall in Europe. The vast adjoining kitchens built under John II the Good (around 1380), with their 4 chimneys, made it possible to prepare the meals of the 1,500 servants of the palace.

- From the royal residence to Palace of Justice. The kings of France abandon the palace at the end of the fourteenth century to settle in the Louvre and Chateau of Vincennes. Judicial activity and a prison are developed.

- Revolutionary prison. Under the French Revolution, the Conciergerie became one of the principal places of justice and detention with the installation, in 1793, of the Revolutionary Tribunal. The tour presents objects, works and multimedia tools that testify to the revolutionary era, from the life of prisoners in the insanitary and crowded dungeons to the functioning of Revolutionary Justice and its fury during the Terror.

- Marie-Antoinette. The most famous prisoner of the Conciergerie is Marie-Antoinette, former queen of France. Incarcerated 76 days in the Conciergerie, kept in custody permanently, and then judged by the Revolutionary Tribunal, she only leaves the Conciergerie for the guillotine on October 16, 1793. At the Conciergerie, you can visit the chapel, built at the time of the restoration of the monarchy, on the site of her cell, understand her detention and trial, and discover clothes and objects deemed to have belonged to the Queen during her detention, or works testifying to the worship of her memory.
