What people say, in short
Visitors recommend the Conciergerie and suggest pairing it with nearby Sainte-Chapelle and Notre-Dame. One visitor calls it a favorite building with a grim past, and another suggests buying the combined ticket at the Conciergerie to skip the Sainte-Chapelle queue. However, one visitor warns there is little worth seeing indoors, and another finds the building lovely but its open rooms feel empty and the museum lacks substance.
