Why visit the Conciergerie?
Transformation from palace to prison
The Conciergerie has undergone one of Paris’ notable transformations, from a palace to a royal prison, during the French Revolution. Through the 14th century, it remained a place of detention, with its most famous prisoner being Marie Antoinette.
Imposing Gothic architecture
The Conciergerie is a stunning example of Gothic architecture featuring imposing towers, soaring arches, and intricate stone carvings. On the inside, the impressive vaulted ceilings and ornate carvings make it just as impressive as the exterior.
Marie-Antoinette’s Cell restored
Step into the prison cell where Marie Antoinette spent the last ten weeks of her life before she was executed. To honor her memory, King Louis XVIII built an expatriate chapel on the site of her former cell.
History comes to life
The Conciergerie houses exhibits that bring its history to life, from artifacts of the Revolution to detailed reconstructions. These displays offer a vivid glimpse into the lives of prisoners and the workings of the revolutionary justice system.

What to see inside the Conciergerie
To make the most of your visit, request a HistoPad tablet at the entrance, which will reconstruct each space to what it was in the past and even give a detailed history of the space.
Hall of Soldiers
Considered Europe’s largest medieval hall (1785 m2), the Hall of Soldiers has soaring vaulted ceilings and robust columns, a classic feature of Gothic architecture. Built under the rule of King Philippe IV, this was where soldiers met, ate, slept, and stored their weapons and firewood.
Marie Antoinette’s Cell
One of the prison’s most famous prisoners, Marie Antoinette spent the last 10 weeks of her life ‘secretly’ in a prison cell before she was tried and publicly beheaded by guillotine. Although reconstructed, the cell exhibit allows visitors to feel the gravity of her final days.
The Guard Room
Historically used by the palace guards overseeing the prison, the Guard Room today is an exhibition space, displaying fascinating artifacts from the revolutionary era. The exhibits intend to shed light on the daily operations and security measures undertaken by the Conciergerie.
Girodin’s Chapel
After the fire of 1776 destroyed the palace’s medieval chapel, the Girodin’s Chapel was built, to commemorate the Girondin deputies who perished during the Revolution. It gets its name from a Revolutionary group called the Girodins who were given a "last supper" of sorts here before being executed the next day.
Women’s Courtyard
The Women's Courtyard, an open-air area where female prisoners spent their days, offers a glimpse into their daily routines. This space starkly contrasts with the dark cells and highlights the everyday experiences (washing clothes, walking, and eating outside) of women incarcerated during the Revolution.
The Royal Kitchens
Built around 1353, the kitchens included two superimposed rooms: the king's kitchens on the upper floor and the common kitchens on the ground floor, where meals were prepared for the royals, the guards, and the prisoners. It features four large fireplaces, two windows, and a selection of cooking equipment.
Prisoners’ Gallery
This passageway links the various prison cells, revealing the stark differences in inmate accommodations, from communal rooms to solitary confinement while illustrating the harsh realities of prison life during the Revolution.
Revolutionary Tribunal
This space was a court instituted during the French Revolution for the trial of political offenders, at a time when justice was swift and often harsh. This room is rich with stories of infamous trials, offering a gripping glimpse into the legal chaos and fear that characterized this period.
