The decisive factor is timed entry: Conciergerie requires a reserved visit slot, and admission still follows a security check. Choose the official ticket for the lowest visible price, or pay more for a partner combo that also includes Sainte-Chapelle or a Seine cruise.

Good to know
Practical notes before your visit.
TimingFor a quieter visit, choose a weekday morning near the 9:30 a.m. opening; visitor reports describe heavier crowds in the late afternoon. Conciergerie is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., with last access at 5:30 p.m., so avoid arriving close to closing.
EntranceUse the visitor entrance at 2 Boulevard du Palais. A second security check takes place before entry, and there is no baggage deposit inside the monument. Mobile e-tickets are accepted, but download them before arrival because network coverage can be difficult at the entrance. Avoid bulky luggage and other prohibited items; timed entry does not remove security checks.
PriceThe official-seller benchmark is €11.50 for “Conciergerie (groupe)”. Partner options cost €25, €34, or €40 and bundle Conciergerie with Sainte-Chapelle and/or a Seine River cruise; check the final checkout total, availability, and inclusions before buying.
DiscountsAdmission is free for visitors under 18, and for 18–25-year-olds who are EU nationals or regular non-European residents in France, excluding organised groups. Bring valid proof of eligibility. Visitors must still follow the applicable reservation and time-slot rules; adult groups of 8 or more require a group booking.
Planning your visit
La Conciergerie occupies part of the former Palais de la Cité on the Île de la Cité, where medieval royal rooms meet the history of the French Revolution. Its Gothic civil architecture is clearest in the vast Salle des Gens d'Armes, while the Tour de l'Horloge marks the riverside exterior near Pont au Change.
The visit follows the building's later role as a Revolutionary Tribunal prison during the Reign of Terror. Look for the memorial spaces linked to Marie Antoinette, including Marie Antoinette's cell, the Girondins' Chapel, the prison corridors and the reconstructed courtyard areas; references to Robespierre help place the political history in context.
A combined Sainte-Chapelle and Conciergerie ticket suits visitors pairing both monuments on Île de la Cité, while a guided tour adds historical interpretation beyond the self-guided route. A timed-entry reservation is useful for organizing the visit, and Paris Museum Pass holders should use the reservation route for pass holders when required.
The Cité metro station is the closest metro stop, and Saint-Michel - Notre-Dame RER is a practical alternative across the river. Conciergerie opening hours are 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., with last access 30 minutes before closing; the security checkpoint bag policy bans bulky bags, aerosols, knives, sharp objects and glass bottles, so security screening needs extra time.
Before you buy
Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.
- Timed entry or skip-the-line access does not bypass security screening: Conciergerie is part of the Palais de Justice, and visitors should allow extra time for checks at the entrance.
- There is no baggage deposit at Conciergerie, and bulky luggage or bags are prohibited, so arrive without large luggage.
- Motorbike helmets, aerosols, knives and other sharp objects, scissors, glass bottles, scooters, skateboards and rollerblades are not admitted.
- A second security check takes place before entering the monument, so a partner ticket or combined ticket may still require time in the security process.
- Visitors must enter within the 30-minute time slot: a 10:00 reservation allows entry no later than 10:30.
- Pushchairs must be small and foldable to pass through the X-ray machines, and Conciergerie does not have PRM access.
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most.
Can I show my Conciergerie ticket on my phone, and do I need a time slot?
Yes. Mobile e-tickets are accepted, and visitors must have a ticket with a reserved time slot. Each slot lasts 30 minutes.
Can I cancel my Conciergerie ticket or get a refund?
Cancellation and refund terms are not stated in the ticket details, so do not assume the booking is flexible. Review the seller’s conditions before payment, especially for partner tickets.
Is it better to buy Conciergerie tickets from the official seller or a partner?
The official option is the lowest-priced choice shown at €11.50. Partner options cost €25, €34 or €40 and combine Conciergerie with Sainte-Chapelle or a Seine cruise, so they make sense when you want those additional activities in one booking.
What bags can I bring to Conciergerie, and will I go through security?
A second security check takes place before admission, and no baggage deposit is available inside Conciergerie. Bring only a manageable bag and allow time for screening; a timed ticket does not remove the security requirement.
What happens if I arrive late for my Conciergerie time slot?
A 10:00 reservation allows entry no later than 10:30. Arriving after the 30-minute window may put admission at risk, so allow extra time for the security check.
Who can visit Conciergerie for free or at a reduced rate?
Admission is free for visitors under 18 and for 18–25-year-olds who are EU nationals or regular residents of the European Union, excluding groups. Eligible visitors must bring valid proof, and free visitors still need a ticket and time slot when reservations are required.
What is the main bottleneck when visiting Conciergerie?
The main constraint is the combination of a fixed 30-minute entry window and a second security check before admission. The ticket controls when you can enter, while security screening can still affect the pace of arrival.
