Experience the tumultuous history of the French Republic by exploring the Conciergerie. Initially constructed as a royal residence in the 14th century, it transformed into a prison after the monarchy relocated. During the French Revolution, this facility earned its reputation as “the antechamber to the guillotine.”
Investigate both the cells that housed criminals and memorials for heroes from the Revolution. Visit the chapel that served as Marie Antoinette’s prison cell and witness Europe’s largest preserved medieval hall, known as Salle des Gens d’Armes.
Opt to use an histopad for your journey, allowing you to immerse yourself in history through this augmented reality device. Delve into medieval chambers alongside areas that have since vanished from sight.
