    The sight itself is not essential on a Paris visit, but they have a new virtual reality tablet that is worthwhile in itself. It replaces the old audio guide. It allows you to get visual information...

    Well worth the visit to learn the history of the oldest royal palace in Paris that became the prison where Marie Antoinette spent her last days. Prison cells and equipment still in place. Impressive building. Good videos, audio guides and explanation panels available.
  • By Simon Laimer
    Small, but quite interesting! At entrance I got a tablet as a guide. I liked that a lot. Worth to visit this old place full of history. I liked to see the prison cell of Marie Antoinette. I really suggest to buy Paris Museums Card.
