Conciergerie Tickets Paris

Built by the French King Philip IV, this is the largest non-religious gothic hall in entire Europe by area. You can witness this grand hall in Conciergerie Paris with four huge aisles held by the strongest pillars which stretch up to the ceiling making it look even larger and magnificent.

This place served as a host of royal banquets, dining room, and gathering place for the soldiers, armed guards, and the servants of the then-palace.

Built by the French King Philip IV, this place served as a quarter for the guards who protected the kings. When the royal residence was moved to Louvre, this place was turned into an overcrowded dungeon for prisoners. The Hall was restored in the 19th century by architect Antoine Marie Peyrle decorated the hall with sculptures on the capitals of the columns.

Smaller than the Hall of Soldiers, you can witness the Guard Hall has a vaulted roof supported by three massive pillars that divide it into two naves and a spiral stairway connecting to the next floor.

The main highlight to see in the Conciergerie tickets, is the place where the French Queen Marie-Antoinette was imprisoned for 10 weeks until her ultimate trial and beheading. When the monarchy was restored in the 19th century, the original cell was replaced by the Memorial Chapel dedicated to the Queen.

The memorial tries to tell you the melancholic story of the Queen spending her last days in the cell. The marble monument marks “The Queen’s Testament” and the painful yet beautiful paintings mimic her imprisonment. The black faux marble walls are marked with stone teardrops and the chapel gets enlightened through a single stained glass window.

The prisoners were held in the prisoner’s chamber which was overcrowded so much that the prisoners would sleep on the floor within a thin layer of straw in different shifts. This poor prisoner’s cell is the place where the poorest prisoners were kept and called "pailleux" or "straw-sleepers", who were fed with only bread and water.

These communal cells have the prisoner’s name engraved inside them and you can listen to the tale of the fifty most famous prisoners jailed in the Conciergerie.

This place got its name from the infamous Revolutionary group of “Girodins'', who served the last meal before their execution. Created after a fire destroyed the palace’s medieval oratory in 1776, the Girodin’s chapel remains mostly unchanged unlike the other areas of the Conciergerie telling you about its history.

This place remains the same as the original, even when it was converted into a prison cell during the period of the Reign of Terror.

The Women’s Courtyard was a place where the women prisoners would carry on their everyday activities like washing their clothes in the fountain, eating outside, and doing some walking exercises. This place consists of the arcades, stone tablets, the garden, and a triangular area at the northeast corner separating the men’s prison.

Today, there are beautiful flowers in the garden giving a fresh breath of air for you to experience in the Conciergerie Paris.
