I Love Paris

What a lot of people do not know about the Conciergerie is that it was actually built in the 14th century.  This incredible building holds a men-at-arms room, a kitchen and also a guardroom.  It is located on Ile de la Cite and it was build by Phillipe the Fair.  Basically, the Conciergerie was the very, very first prison that was ever built in Paris and while you might not be the type of person that would be into a sight like this, I am!

The beautiful building holds so much history and it truly is breathtakingly beautiful.  The Conciergerie, during the French Revolution actually had about 3,000 condemned people in the cells that ended up dying in there.  There were even people that spent time in the Conciergerie that were picked out and transported to the Guillotine; Marie-Antoinette was one of them.

So if you want to see something dark and experience something gothic and spiritual, you should visit the Conciergerie.  It is definitely an experience!
