What to expect

The Conciergerie is a historic site located in the heart of Paris, on the banks of the Seine. It is one of the oldest remains of the Palais de la Cité, the former royal palace and seat of power of the kings of France in the Middle Ages. The Conciergerie was transformed into a prison in the 14th century and remained a major place of detention during the French Revolution, with famous prisoners including Marie-Antoinette. Visitors can explore the medieval kitchens, the Salle des Gens d'Armes, and the Salle des Gardes, which showcase the site's Gothic civil architecture. The Conciergerie also offers a Passion monuments loyalty program, which provides unlimited access to over 80 monuments throughout France
