Conciegerie was not initially on our to-do list but we decided to get a joint pass. No regrets at all. Even though the interior was a little bare, the place was beautifully restored. The interactive VR experience was very informative and fun and my teenage son totally enjoyed it too. Certainly time well spent !
The conciergerie is currently quite empty, still beautiful building. However take advantage of the free histopad available at the entrance the travel back in time to see the old prison lay-out and the cell of marie-antoinnette. Very nice to visit
The information at la concierge had been updated since I last went over five years ago, and it was really informative and I learnt a lot about the revolution. The histopad is a bit gimmicky, but I can see how it would be great for kids
