Answer 7

La Conciergerie is one of the oldest official/royal/governmental sites in Paris, the Roman Governors lived on the site, and one of tjhe finest palaces of the medieval era was built there in the C14th, but it didn't become a prison until the C15th.
The interior is amazing its is like the crypt of a gothic cathedral only with higher ceilings. Well lit and cleaned now it was probably a horrible creepy place following the French revolution when it was used as a prison and law court of the revolutionaries.
