Conciergerie
 |
The Conciergerie is an important vestige of the Palace of the Capetians, and a remarkable example of 14th-century civil architecture. At the time of the French Revolution, it was France's oldest prison, and it was there that Marie-Antoinette was incarcerated.
The building, which is located alongside the Seine, features four towers: Tour de l’Horloge, Tour Bombec, Tour d’Argent and Tour de César.
The magnificent Gothic rooms date from the 14th century.
