During the "Terror" from January 1793 to July 1794, nearly 2,800 prisoners left from the Conciergerie to go to the guillotines which were set up in several sites around Paris: Places du Carrousel, de la Concorde, de la Bastille, de la Nation. Watch for the list of people who were guillotined. The Conciergerie witnessed the last days of Marie-Antoinette, Philippe-Egalité, as well as Danton, Desmoulins, the Girondins, Saint-Just, Madame Roland, Charlotte Corday, Lavoisier, General Hoche. Three cells have been reconstructed : the "pailleux" where the needy prisoners who were piled in heaps on the "rue de Paris", the "pistolés" were able to sleep on beds, and finally the privileged had the luxury of a private cell. The exhibition in the museum recounts the daily life in the Conciergerie. You can also visit the women's quarters, the reconstructed cell of Marie-Antoinette and the expiatory chapel built in 1817 in the queen's ancient cell.
