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.
Headout is an authorized and trusted partner of the venue, offering curated experiences to enjoy this attraction. This is not the venue's website.
The Conciergerie is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that sits somberly on the banks of the Seine River. Although it was the seat of power for French kings in the Middle Ages, the Conciergerie is famously recognized for being the prison where Queen Marie-Antoinette was held prisoner “in secret”, before being executed.
If you’re visiting, this guide shares facts and fables as we know them, to help you plan your visit to the oldest remains of the Palais de la Cité.
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.
