At first glance, it's hard to believe this palatial building was once France's most infamous prison. The 13th-century structure even held some of the country's most prominent rulers, like Marie Antoinette, in its cells. Snap a picture along Pont au Change as the pink, cotton-candy clouds hover above the Conciergerie and then head into the structure, which is now a museum that's open to the public.

This image was taken on the east side of Pont au Change, looking west toward the other side of the bridge and Conciergerie. The easiest way to get to this location is to take public transportation and then walk a short distance. By Metro: - Closest station: Châtelet (1, 4, 7, 11 or 14 Lines) - Head northwest on Avenue Victoria toward Boulevard de Sébastopol/Place du Châtelet - Turn left onto Place du Châtelet - Continue onto Pont au Change
