Presentation
The Hall of the Guards and the huge Hall of the Gens d'Armes, built under Philip the Fair, and the kitchens, built under John the Good, remain from the medieval Palais de la Cité.
The kings of France left the palace at the end of the 14th century to move to the Louvre and Vincennes. Judicial activity developed here, and prisons were built. The Conciergerie became a major place of detention during the French Revolution, when the Revolutionary Court was set up there. Its most famous prisoner was Marie-Antoinette. A memorial chapel was built on the site of her cell during the Restoration.
New features:- A richer tour of the Revolution,- Fully restored kitchens,- An immersive visitor tool: Histopad.
