Most people do not have Saint Chapelle as one of their must-see items in Paris. You must see it! It is truly remarkable.
My partner and I visited the Conciergerie after visting Sainte-Chapelle and we were surprised by how interesting this museum is! The main floor houses an exhibition on food and rink in France, with some really interesting historical facts, photos, and artefacts. The upstairs floor in dedicated is exploring the building's history as a prison, with one of the main points of interet being Marie Antionette's cell.
The large halls are mostly empty, but the history is present vith the help of added reality of tablets provided to visitors. Marie Antoinette cell and her story is a true highlight of the attraction.
