Full description

Get a glimpse into the turbulent history of the French Republic, with access to the Conciergerie. Originally built as a royal palace in the 14th century, the building became a prison when the royal family moved residence. During the French Revolution the prison was known as "the antechamber to the guillotine."
 
Explore the cells of criminals and the tombs of heroes of the French Revolution. Discover the chapel that was once the prison cell where Marie Antoinette was held. See the largest remaining medieval hall in Europe, the Salle des Gens d’Armes.

Choose to be accompanied by an histopad, and go back in time using this augmented reality tool. Explore the medieval rooms, as well as the spaces that have now disappeared.

The caliber of musicians was excellent especially for the money we paid. The church was quaint and the acoustics superb.

Not at all as expected. The best part is the prison area with lots of excellent information. Marie Antoinette’s cell was fantastic and I found the exercise square very atmospheric. More advice on using the histoplasmosis would have been useful

The Histopad made it quite interesting and interactive but I kept having to remind myself to also look at the real rooms. :D
