nfamous place, but very important for understanding the history of Paris and France itself. Marie Antoanete, probably the most famous captive of this place.
La Conciergerie es sin duda una de las visitas obligadas de la isla de la Cité, es más, de todo París. Está situada en la orilla de la isla y sirve de palacio de justicia, mientras que el sótano (antigua prisión) es un museo de visita obligada. Se hizo famoso porque en él estuvo prisionera María Antonieta, y forma parte importante de la historia de Francia.
The Conciergerie is a really cool place to spend a few hours in Paris. With its storied history, it is very cool to walk through the old prison. The Marie Antoinette exhibit, in particular, was great. The exhibit displayed how Marie was portrayed in her time and thereafter. It was visually interesting and thought provoking. If you find her a fascinating person in history, I highly recommend.
