The Conciergerie has undergone one of Paris’ notable transformations, from a palace to a royal prison, during the French Revolution. Through the 14th century, it remained a place of detention, with its most famous prisoner being Marie Antoinette.
Headout is an authorized and trusted partner of the venue, offering curated experiences to enjoy this attraction. This is not the venue's website.
The Conciergerie is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that sits somberly on the banks of the Seine River. Although it was the seat of power for French kings in the Middle Ages, the Conciergerie is famously recognized for being the prison where Queen Marie-Antoinette was held prisoner “in secret”, before being executed.
If you’re visiting, this guide shares facts and fables as we know them, to help you plan your visit to the oldest remains of the Palais de la Cité.
To make the most of your visit, request a HistoPad tablet at the entrance, which will reconstruct each space to what it was in the past and even give a detailed history of the space.
A Gothic masterpiece known for its stunning stained glass windows, Sainte-Chapelle was built to house relics of Christ’s Passion.
Originally a church, the Panthéon now honors France’s great minds. Its stunning neoclassical architecture and panoramic views from the dome are must-see highlights.
Despite ongoing restoration, Notre Dame’s iconic spires and beautiful stained glass windows remain awe-inspiring. Climb its 402 steps for amazing city views.
It typically takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to explore the Conciergerie thoroughly.
Access is free to visitors under the following conditions:
The Conciergerie tickets cannot be canceled. However, most tickets can be rescheduled. Remember to check the specific terms before you make your reservation.
Today, the Conciergerie is a museum and a historical site, showcasing exhibits about its history and the French Revolution.
So first of all, I'd like to thank headout for this ticket. To visit the holy chapel, it was sold out everywhere but this site managed to find me two tickets. So happy to have gone with my family to visit this sublime place. I would never have thought of booking. Thanks again! You saved my scheduled trip.
Beautiful architecture and stain glass windows.
The Sainte-Chapelle is beautiful, really worth seeing. Having the last round of entry we knew the visit would be quick, however, we were sold a ticket that also included the Conciengerie, which, however, was closing right at our entry time.
Sainte Chappelle is stunning! Walked in to the builiding and BAM! Gorgeous colors! Couldn't find Conciergerie. Felt satisfied with my experience none the less.
I always had a dream to visit Sainte-Chapelle, and the dream finally came true, thank to Headout service! The queue was moving quite quickly, and within 15 minutes I entered the church.
I was worried booking Sainte Chapelle last minute through Headout but I'm so glad that I did. The booking was fast and I got my tickets confirmation right away. Sainte Chapelle was a bit disappointed as long waiting time even with the ticket.
It was easy to enter on time. I love how you enter the small chapel and then follow the staircase to the beautiful cathedral. A surprise if you have never seen it. We were late in the day, but the consiergerie let us in early to finish touring it. This was important as the last tour there was 1730 and our tickets were for 1800. This worked perfectly but we lucked out in getting to the other early...easy use tickets, came by email immediately.
Saint Chappelle is just beautiful. It had been raining off and on for a few days, but the day we went was sunny and made the windows glow. Just stunning!
The upper chapel is really beautiful, considering that 70% of the stained glass is original. The lower one would be just as beautiful if it were not a market with souvenir stalls. A bit irreverent!
It was a nice experience but i expected it to be a little more beautifull compared with the other monuments. Maybe to high expectations. But i recommend going there atleast once.
It was beautiful. The staff were most helpful. My brother was on a cane and needed an elevator . They helped us to it. Thank you so much.
Sainte-Chapelle was good except for finding the entrance once thru security- signage directing to entrance could be better & bathrooms were closed & locked. Conciergerie- could not enter because it was closed by the time we finished touring Saint-Chapelle. Was not aware that it would be closed. If known we could have chosen an earlier time to be able to see both. Purchased tickets for price to see both but could not. Disappointed.
Such a beautiful building. Windows are stunning. Ticketing staff amazing. I had a problem downloading my ticket . Staff charming and helpful in spite of their being very busy
The attraction was stunning! Sainte-Chapelle is a beautiful cathedral! Although we arrive super late for our appointed time due to traffic, we were welcomed with open arms!
The actual venue was awesome. However, the queuing experience wasn't ideal. There was confusion as to which queue (both ticket holders and non-ticket holders appeared mingled together..There were limited / no personnel at the queues to organise people. Once the queues separated things moved more smoothly.
SAVED US!! We really wanted to see Saint Chapelle and THANK GOD for headout because we got last minute tickets that let us in. Thank you!!!
Even though we had booked a specific time we waited in a hugely over crowded line of visitors to enter for over an hour. The tour of the Chapel actually only took 15 mins. We had already visited the conciergerie the day before but could not view the Chapelle on the same day.
The wait wasn't too long at the conciergerie and the Sainte Chapelle.
The windows and audio guide were great
Smooth visit to St Chapelle albeit on higher cost. The provider did not give any info about accompanying child.
The waiting time was reasonable.
All good, very interesting, though a guide would have been helpful
Great visit and beautiful landmarks. Fast pass entry was key!
I loved this place! Incredible! Tickets worked just fine!
Very nice places, very simple for meals and visits, thank you!

Our audioguides disconnected regularly. Having taken the tour with 3 children (aged 14 and 10), it was difficult to get them to imagine the space in Marie-Antoinnette's time. Too clean, too bright and without furniture. In my opinion, it lacked mannequins and period furnishings (table, bed, straw, rats.... for the cells and kitchen furnishings). Nevertheless, they enjoyed the visit.
Location. Very beautiful building . this was really a great discovery.
It was efficient and easy to use.
One of the bills was dated 2023!
Very interesting place with many little-known details of our history. Just one small comment, as the operation of the touch-screen tablet was very briefly explained, I didn't take advantage of all it has to offer. Sincerely M Mathieu

Recommend if you're on a budget or want to save money. With this Pass, the Entrance to Versailles gardens isn't included. Staff, where you pick up vouchers (in Lafayette), is perfect.
I recomment purchasing turbo pass - because of the price (try adding all the tickets and you'll get it), and for not having to stay in queue at the entrance. Great ! I' ve visited many in 4 days, still remained some unvisited.
The turbo pass is worthwhile for anyone who wants to get as much history as possible in Pais. You should prepare well, because most attractions still have to be reserved in advance. Clear homepage and good price performance.
We had it for the maximum period of 6 days because we were in Paris for a week. You don't save a ton of money, but just booking the time slots makes things a lot easier when you get there. The week was planned out in advance, but there's no other way if you want to see/experience something. Queuing up on site is usually pointless because it's very busy in July and August. We always had two activities a day, except for Versailles. You need a whole day for that. Everything worked out great...but you should definitely book a time slot wherever possible. The times were always kept to and we got everywhere on time. I would do it again anytime.
Description is correct. Everything was very uncomplicated and gave us the opportunity to plan very flexibly, as the weather was mixed. The offer and the possibilities cover many needs to get to know Paris. It is a significant financial distribution.
The Turbopass is not just called that, it says it all. You don't have to wait long at attractions or sights where others queue for hours. Instead, you walk past the queues in a relaxed manner (in turbo mode). I can only recommend the Turbopass to everyone.
You could book everything in advance in a relaxed manner, then you didn't have to queue or wait anywhere. Was super easy and we would book it again and again. The guided tour in Montmartre was particularly good.
The turbo pass was really great! Everything worked out perfectly, you could reserve a lot in advance, so that you could make a good plan for visiting the city yourself. The guided tour was also great and very interesting, very nice guide!
I've seen the prices locally, the pass saves a lot of money if you use it.
The Paris Pass was a good investment, definitely worth buying.
Thanks to the Turbopass, we found our way around Paris very well, everything worked out wonderfully! There were a few minor irritations at the checkout because not everyone was familiar with the pass, but mostly everything worked smoothly. Thank you very much for the good price, the great selection and the great combination!
I found out about Turbo pass while researching visiting attractions in Paris. It seemed as a good choice as we stayed there for a week and wanted to see as much as we could. Me and my partner made an order 3 days pass + free 4 days museum pass and it was an excellent choice. It is very easy to navigate and everything was written on the pass how to use it for each attraction.Unfortunately, 7 days in Paris were not enough to see everything that is meant with this pass but we managed to see so much. I especially loved Museum pass as you don't have to wait in a line. It saves time and energy. With well planned visits, you can see so much. I would recommend to check in advance where you have to book a ticket in advance for your visit as it can happen they don't have free time slots during your stay. However, it's well spent money and definitely payed off. We saved a lot of money and time
Everything worked fine. It was my first time in Paris. You have to plan everything carefully if you want to achieve a lot. Also, don't forget to book early tickets with the entry time slot on the websites. I had Turbopass for 2 days. I've been to Saint Chapelle, Museum de Cluny, Pantheon, Museum d'Orsay, Versailles, Arc de Triumph, Boat trip, Invalides, Guided tour of Montmartre and VR Paris View Fly360 (the only thing I wouldn't recommend). I didn't make it to the Louvre, you have to plan almost the whole day for that. I didn't save an enormous amount, but a lot (30-40 euros). I had no problems with the ticket. You just have to take into account that the buses don't come on time, so it's better to use the metro.
We received the documents within a very short time. The information was good and helped us a lot when planning our stay. We particularly enjoyed the guided tour through Montmartre. It was very informative and entertaining. We can highly recommend the guided walk.
Buying the Turbopass was a great thing. We bought it for Paris with 6 people. Lots of great booking options and very varied. And you save a lot of money compared to individual bookings. It was inconvenient that you always had to laboriously type in the people's numbers somewhere when booking, then replace the temporary QR codes with the correct ones on site (which led to quite a wait when there were long queues on site). An app that contains all the tickets would also be good, instead of emails for each booking. It was also not clear that the hop-on hop-off bus is only available for 24 hours after redemption and not for the duration of the booking. In our case it was 5 days. It would also be a good idea to be able to book public transport tickets at the same time, at a discount. Because you almost always need these in big cities. All in all, the purchase was well worth it.
Best thing we did is get the Turbo Pass for Paris. Wish we had more time. Hop on Hop off is a great way to see what is to offer in the city. Museum pass gives you access to most of the museums in Paris area. Get it and you won’t regret it.
The metro ticket was awesome, it got us everywhere quickly and cheaply. We really liked the Generali balloon and it didn't cost anything with the pass. We would take the pass again and again.
The turbopass allows you to visit Paris without stress. It is easy to use. Highly recommended.
Thanks to the Paris City Pass, we were able to have a great time in Paris.
A great-value pass covering Paris’ top experiences—ideal if you're skipping the Eiffel Tower.
