Your access ticket gives you the right to proceed inside the former Paris Seat of Justice. Learn about the transformation of the Conciergerie throughout history, from Royal Palace to Justice of the French monarch to Revolutionary Tribunal. See the cell where Marie-Antoinette was imprisoned, among other famous prisoners during this time. Just a few steps away is the 13th-century Sainte-Chapelle, a French Gothic chapel that has recently been restored. Your ticket also gives you access to this monument, which features more than 1,000 scenes from the Old and New Testaments. Both monuments are yours to explore independently after your express entry, and you can visit them in any order you choose.
Sainte-Chapelle, this newly restored and intimate chapel from the 13th century, is only located a few meters from the Conciergerie. It is a true gem of French Gothic architecture. Arranged across 15 windows, each 15 meters high, the stained glass panes depict 1,113 scenes from the Old and New Testaments recounting the history of the world until the arrival of the relics in Paris.
Get to discover first the Conciergerie, located on Île de la Cité. This former Paris seat of Justice is this impressive monument overlooking the river Seine. Being first a Royal Palace and a seat of Justice of the French monarchy, the Conciergerie then became a prison of the Revolutionary Tribunal where Marie-Antoinette was imprisoned until her death.

FEATURED REVIEW(S)
3.5/5 stars – based on 1148 reviews
Actually, we weren’t able to enter. Having purchased tickets online in advance, we didn’t realize that we also were required to make a reservation. This is our oversight, of course, but it would have been nice to have had an alternative entry option, given that we had purchased tickets and were already in Paris when we realized our error.

Absolutely stunning! I’m glad we purchased the timed tickets in advance. A bit tricky in that you must go to the Monuments website to get your timed entry, but well worth the effort.
Pamela – Scotland
Beautiful stained glass and very well maintained older statues in the Chapel. For some reason that I can’t exactly explain, this Chapel seemed to have the most impact for us. Not large at all but really special.
