Pretty Paris Prison

Two views of the Concierge in Paris which housed prisoners, not the least of which was Marie Antoinette. The lower photo shows a replica flat boat in the Seine in front of the building. It is  very pretty building and one has to be told what it was used for as it does not look like a jail. Of interest to me is that the jail in Dublin, this building, the Tower of London and other old European jails are major tourist attractions today. (These photos were taken just hours apart which also shows how quickly the weather and light change in Paris.)
