Description
This great vestige of the Capetian Palace is a remarkable testimony of the civil architecture of the 14th century with the Salle des Gens d'Armes, the Salle des Gardes and the kitchens.
Most of the lower floor of the Palace was turned into a prison during the 15th century: you can visit the dungeons (in particular Queen Marie-Antoinette's) and also discover memories of the French Revolution.
