Day 13
Le Conciergerie
April 15, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Next we visited the Conciergerie which used to be a gaol and once housed Marie Antoinette before she was beheaded. Now it is the Palais de Justice or Palace of Justice and has police officers working out of it.
The museum is in the basement of this grand building that looks like a castle. Imagine my surprise when I expected to see displays about the gaol system and its prisoners, but instead found a museum dedicated to French food!
We were able to see the dishes used to feed Queen Elizabeth ii in 1957, when she visited France for the first time. We learned that the French never talk business or politics without first eating together, which makes a lot of sense to me.Read more

We walked from morning till night trying to take it all in. We toured the Louvres, we were surprised we were able to walk right up to see Mona Lisa, toured Musee des arts, Champs Elysees and all the incredible shops, Arc de Triumph, L'Orange and Monet. All breath taking. Just a beautiful day in ParisRead more
