Bonjour! This week’s carte postale features La Conciergerie and the bridge, Pont au Change, over the Seine River in Paris.
The Conciergerie has served many purposes. It’s been a Royal residence, a Palace of Justice, as well as a prison during the French Revolution. Marie-Antoinette was its most famous prisoner.
For more information:

Until the next Wednesday Postcard, à bientôt!

I was in Paris last year and walked right by this palace. Nice to learn some of its history!

Its history is fascinating; I’m reading more about it. I’m curious, when were you in Paris last year? I was there in May 2018

We visited France the last two weeks in July, my first time after many years. We first spent 3 days in Paris—not nearly enough time of course—then went to the south of France. We were on a hunt for the perfect cover for my Conversational French for Travelers Phrase book so went city hopping but plan to return in the spring and stay a bit longer in Paris.

Last year’s visit was my second time in Paris. I, too, spent about 3 days there (I agree, not enough time to experience everything!) before heading to Toulouse to visit my friends for a couple of days. I hope you found your perfect book cover while in the south of France!

We chose (with the help of social media) a photo of the Eiffel tower glowing in the early evening. It is golden and really looks lovely.
