Conciergerie and Palais de Justice - Cour de Cassation

            Looking back at the Pont au Change. Soon we would be leaving Ile de la Cite.

This is the Palais de Justice - Cour de Cassation.

A former royal palace and prison in Paris.

These days it is part of the large Palais de Justice.

During the French Revolution it was used as a prison for the victims of the guillotine, during the Reign of Terror.

The Paris palace of Justice houses various courts: * the Paris court of large claims (tribunal de grande instance) and the associated Paris correctional court; as of 2007 there are discussions so as to their possible relocation in another location; * the Paris Court of Appeal; * the French Cour de cassation (highest jurisdiction in the French judicial order).  The Palais also contains the ancient structure of the Conciergerie, a former prison, now a museum, where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned before being executed on the guillotine.
