Conciergerie & Sainte-Chapelle

Discover Historic Landmarks of France’s Capital Visit two prominent landmarks that showcase the rich history of Paris. Meet your guide and travel by Metro to the Conciergerie, a French Revolution prison on the Île de la Cité. The 12th-century fortress has an intriguing history, notably, it houses the cell once occupied by Marie Antoinette. Learn more about the famous inmate and how the former royal palace was transformed into a Palais de Justice. Walk through the immense Hall of Soldiers, the old kitchens and other rooms. Next, you will continue to the 13th-century Sainte-Chapelle, built at the request of King Louis IX to store his holy relics. Marvel at its Gothic design and 15 stained glass windows while your guide explains the scenes from the Bible depicted in each. Afterward, you may choose to explore more of Île de la Cité independently or return to your hotel or ship. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
