La Conciergerie and the french revolutionIn 1793 and 1794, 2780 people were sentenced to death, detained in La Conciergerie, then left for Place de la Concorde where they were beheaded. Marie-Antoinette, Queen of France, sister of the King of Austria, was unfortunately among them. La Conciergerie deserves a visit for its history and gothic architecture, with two superb halls, built from 1302 to 1313. Its facade on the Seine river bank is a vibrant legacy of the Middle Ages. |
