So, if you visit the Sainte-Chapelle cathedral (noted for its stained glass windows), this is right next door and was even built as part of the Conciergerie. It wraps around the cathedral. The Conciergerie was a prison, and Marie Antoinette was held there for over two months before she was executed. The museum emphasizes a brief period before the revolution and the few years following until The Directories were established for the justice system. It explains how the revolution changed and ended torture/capital punishment over a short period of time.
It’s essentially an add-on to the Sainte-Chapelle. This revolutionary jail where Marie Antoinette was held before trial and execution provides a nice history of of revolutionary detention. It’s a nice, quick visit after the Sainte-Chapelle.
A historic place where prisoners had been housed for centuries — but no longer. Housed, tortured, and this was their last stop before the guillotine. A few cells and guards’ rooms have been done up, but most of what is offered are explanations of the history of the place and its role in French affairs. It’s right next to the splendid Sainte Chapelle.
