La Conciergerie Paris 2019!
** It's hard to believe that this shot was taken in late June 2019, the last day we were in France. We have been going to France at least once a year since 1980 but Covid has certainly put paid to many travel plans.
Back to the photograph this is probably one of the most beautiful prisons in the world. Though if you were locked up there the aesthetics of the building were probably far from your mind.
The Conciergerie is a former courthouse and prison in Paris, France, located on the west of the Île de la Cité, below the Palais de Justice. It was originally part of the former royal palace, the Palais de la Cité, which also included the Sainte-Chapelle. Two large medieval halls remain from the royal palace. During the French Revolution, 2,780 prisoners, including Marie-Antoinette, were imprisoned, tried and sentenced at the Conciergerie, then sent to different sites to be executed by the guillotine. It is now a national monument and museum.
