Sainte Chapelle, Cite "Metropolitan" Metro Stop, Conciergerie
We walked across the river to finish the walking tour. Our next stop was Saint Chapelle. We could use our Museum Passes, and the line was extremely long, so I went to look for the pass line. The person in charge of the line told me "same line" when I showed him the pass, so we passed on this site.
We walked across a little plaza to see the Art Nouveau Metropolitan Metro Stop sign. It's pretty fancy. I've included a normal looking one [later] and the fancy (and now protected) older one. There are several of these still remaining in Paris.
The Conciergerie was pretty interesting as it dealt with the end of the reign of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. It was a gloomy prison for the last of the people beheaded. The architecture inside was beautiful, but the cells dim and grim. My guess is that there was so much commotion going on that no one stopped to admire the ceiling and huge fire places.
