The Conciergerie, the seat of royal authority before the French court moved to the Louvre. The Hall of Guards impresses even today. During the French Revolution, the Conciergerie became a prison and housed that most famous of prisoners, Marie Antoinette.
Taillevent is viewed as the father of French cuisine and published one of the first cookbooks. His kitchen at the Conciergerie was run with military efficiency.
