a sober presence, outside but mostly inside, and fortunately nowadays is a quiet and clean place it's hard to imagine those convicted, waiting in their own filthy (a cell with no window and no toilet), it's hard to imagine the smell, the voices, the terror there is a room with walls covered by 4000 names, all those killed during the Grand Terror of 1793-1794, including the revolutionary leaders it's also the place where the last French king and queen have been detained before their deaths nowadays is just a place to remember
Most of the cavernous building was blocked off. The exhibit on Marie Antoinette was somewhat interesting, but, lost on me. I'm sure French people will appreciate this place more than a silly American on his 12th trip to Paris.
