This past weekend we entered for free during the “EU heritage”. The lines were crazy long everywhere! So we got in here fairly quickly..it was OK for free. Spent maybe 30-40min here incl good free bathrooms. There is a English language leaflet that you grab at entry that explain all the rooms. definitely Not for the first time visitor

Really interesting and overlooked attraction. There was no queue to go inside and once you've bought your ticket, you have access to a tablet. There are different areas that can be scanned throughout which show you what the room would have looked like and the history. It's a fantastic concept and brings an interactive side to the visit. There's also a lot of information on the French Revolution especially Marie Antoinette as she was held here. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody interested in French history.

So pleased we went, there's so much more to this building than is initially evident. The tablet that comes with the visit is a brilliant way to show what it used to be like and teally brings the history to life. I definitely reccomend it.

We planned to combine visits with sainte chapelle but the queue was huge there but nonexistent here! Useful tablet to aid visit. A minute explaining it would have helped this old mind. Lots of historical information, last visited over twenty years ago, not all as I remembered! All in all a worthwhile visit.

Having left the queue for the Sainte Chapelle (It was not moving) we went to the nearby Conciergerie and directly into the huge guard room. The hall is very impressive in size. The tour is guided by a free tablet display which you carry with you. As the last prison holding before the guillotine the tablet and sign-boards provide lots of information on how prisoners were processed. Marie Antoinette we a headline prisoner just before her execution. The tablet information is well presented and informative.

Uncrowded and innovative. The entrance is now clearly marked. The building itself is quite remarkable. As mentioned in many other reviews the histopads give you a better picture of what it was like in different time periods. A lot information about the Revolution, but also the 1300s when the building was constructed. Probably not a “must do” on your first visit to Paris, but definitely worth the time if you are looking for something beyond those must sees.

Full of history alongside the St Chapelle church. Worth a visit if you staying nearby or visiting other attractions in the area. On the river near Notre Dome. Or worth going out of your way to visit.

We had purchased the combo ticket covering both Saint Chapelle and Conciergerie. The tablet app that is handed as a guide is really cool. One gets to visualize how the place would have looked like back in the olden days. Interesting anecdotes from history. Overall a nice place to visit and not too crowded either.

Often overlooked by the more famous sites on the Ile de la Cite, like Notre Dame or Sainte-Chappelle, the Conciergerie is nevertheless worth a visit. It start life off as a royal palace, but eventually became a prison. It housed many notable victims of the French revolution, include Marie-Antoinette herself. You can buy a combination ticket at the nearby Sainte-Chappelle for entrance to both attractions.

It's right next door to Sainte Chapelle, so why not? But let's be frank - it simply cannot compete with the former. Perhaps it would be better to visit here before going next door. It's a little peculiar in its layout. After going through the cavernous entrance you eventually go up a few steps to find a shop on the left and a chamber on the right (there's also a kitchen on the right of the main entrance hall) and are sort of left wondering if that is it. Fret not - the tour continues on the other side of the shop with a brief trip upstairs and back down through a small chapel and courtyard. History buffs will find this most interesting (and there's plenty of info on offer) but I wouldn't suggest it will appeal to all ages. It's included with the Paris/Museum Pass but I'm not convinced it would be a must-go otherwise.
