Conciergerie -- Last Prison of Marie Antoinette

I visited the Conciergerie this past monday which is a really neat historical building on the main island next to the Palais du Justice. It held a ton of prisoners during the Revolution and Terror, most notably Marie Antoinette and Robespierre.
 Awesome vaulted ceilings
 Cool jar used by Marie Antoinette on the day of her death
very creepy replica of Marie Antoinettes prison cell... i hate those weird dummys they put in museums!!
