La Conciergerie, Paris, France - a photo on Flickriver

            Le palais de la Cité était la résidence et le siège du pouvoir des rois de France, du Xᵉ au XIVᵉ siècle. Il s’étendait sur une grande partie de l’Île de la Cité dans le 1ᵉʳ arrondissement de Paris.
Une partie du palais était convertie en prison d’État en 1370, après l’abandon du palais par Charles V et ses successeurs. La prison de la conciergerie occupait le rez-de-chaussée du bâtiment bordant le quai de l’Horloge et les deux tours ; l’étage supérieur était réservé au Parlement. La prison était considérée pendant la Terreur comme l’antichambre de la mort. Peu en sortaient libres. La reine Marie-Antoinette y fut emprisonnée en 1793.
De nos jours, une grande partie du site est occupée par le Palais de justice de Paris et l'essentiel des vestiges de ce palais sont constitués par l'ancienne prison de la conciergerie qui longe le quai de l'Horloge, au nord-est de l'île, ainsi que par la Sainte-Chapelle.

The Conciergerie is a former prison in Paris, France, located on the west of the Île de la Cité presently mostly used for law courts. It was part of the former royal palace, the Palais de la Cité, which consisted of the Conciergerie, Palais de Justice and the Sainte-Chapelle. Hundreds of prisoners during the French Revolution were taken from the Conciergerie to be executed on the guillotine at a number of locations around Paris.
