When modern Paris's vibrant boutiques, bicycles, and delicious baguettes feel overwhelming, take a step back in time at the historic Palais de la Cité.
This remarkable site was once the residence of the Kings of France and offers a glimpse into the past.
Don't miss SainteChapelle, featuring stunning stained glass windows and once home to what is believed to be Christ's Crown of Thorns.
Explore the Conciergerie, a former prison that famously held Marie Antoinette during the tumultuous times of the French Revolution.
Be sure to book a timeslot on the [official website](https://tickets.monumentsnationaux.fr/frFR/familles?site=2035141861660400306) if you're eligible for a free ticket.
Remember that the Histopad, an informative device available at the Conciergerie, is distributed to visitors until 16:30.
