We had tickets for two attractions this afternoon--again on Île de la Cité, and again at a later time to save a Euro or two. The first was La Conciergerie, a medieval royal palace, which later became a Revolutionary court and the prison of Marie-Antoinette.

The Women's Courtyard
The Conciergerie was a surprise to me. I'd never heard of it, but it was worth the visit since it was full of history (especially on the French Revolution) and interesting architecture. It was included in the tickets we bought for the more famous site, Sainte-Chapelle. I had wanted to see it last time we were here, but there wasn't time.

That's it for today--tomorrow's a new adventure!
