Descripción:
Descubriendo el París medieval: Entradas a la Conciergerie
Retroceda en el tiempo y explore la cautivadora Conciergerie, un hito fundamental en la historia de París.
Esta imponente estructura, que en su día fue un palacio real y más tarde una famosa prisión, ofrece una visión del fascinante pasado de la ciudad.
Esto es lo que le espera:
- Una rica historia: Profundice en la evolución de la Conciergerie, que pasó de residencia real a prisión revolucionaria, albergando a personajes infames como María Antonieta.
- Maravilla arquitectónica: Explore la Grande Salle, una impresionante sala conocida por su arquitectura gótica y sus intrincados detalles.
The museum is located in an old prison and is a really interesting building to wander through. It’s a little light on artefacts but has plenty of information panels explaining key events and figures of the revolution. Definitely an interesting spot to visit for those interested in French history, particularly the Revolution.
The sight itself is not essential on a Paris visit, but they have a new virtual reality tablet that is worthwhile in itself. It replaces the old audio guide. It allows you to get visual information on each room (it knows where you are and serves up specific content). But when you hold up the tablet to a wall, it presents a visual of what the room looked like 200 years ago. And has interactive links for more info. It is very well done.
We waited in a small line to visit the conciergerie (we bought a combined ticket with Sainte-Chapelle). Once inside you could go at your own pace so it didn't seem too crowded. Our kids really liked this as they have all heard of Marie Antoinette. Most of the museum was "History's Interpretation of Marie Antoinette". It was really interesting to walk around the conciergerie and think about the events of the French Revolution. If you like history, this is a really great museum.
