Our audioguides disconnected regularly. Having taken the tour with 3 children (aged 14 and 10), it was difficult to get them to imagine the space in Marie-Antoinnette's time. Too clean, too bright and without furniture. In my opinion, it lacked mannequins and period furnishings (table, bed, straw, rats.... for the cells and kitchen furnishings). Nevertheless, they enjoyed the visit.

It was efficient and easy to use.
Very interesting place with many little-known details of our history. Just one small comment, as the operation of the touch-screen tablet was very briefly explained, I didn't take advantage of all it has to offer. Sincerely M Mathieu

Sainte-Chapelle
So first of all, I'd like to thank headout for this ticket. To visit the holy chapel, it was sold out everywhere but this site managed to find me two tickets. So happy to have gone with my family to visit this sublime place. I would never have thought of booking. Thanks again! You saved my scheduled trip.

Beautiful architecture and stain glass windows.
Such a beautiful building. Windows are stunning. Ticketing staff amazing. I had a problem downloading my ticket . Staff charming and helpful in spite of their being very busy
The attraction was stunning! Sainte-Chapelle is a beautiful cathedral! Although we arrive super late for our appointed time due to traffic, we were welcomed with open arms!
The actual venue was awesome. However, the queuing experience wasn't ideal. There was confusion as to which queue (both ticket holders and non-ticket holders appeared mingled together..There were limited / no personnel at the queues to organise people. Once the queues separated things moved more smoothly.
SAVED US!! We really wanted to see Saint Chapelle and THANK GOD for headout because we got last minute tickets that let us in. Thank you!!!
Even though we had booked a specific time we waited in a hugely over crowded line of visitors to enter for over an hour. The tour of the Chapel actually only took 15 mins. We had already visited the conciergerie the day before but could not view the Chapelle on the same day.
The chapel is beautiful. We really enjoyed our visit!
Very complimentary. The guide made a great effort to give us good information.

Easy to get tickets Saint chapelle is my favorite church
We could not get into Notes Dame but this was better.
A great-value pass covering Paris’ top experiences—ideal if you're skipping the Eiffel Tower.

Recommend if you're on a budget or want to save money. With this Pass, the Entrance to Versailles gardens isn't included. Staff, where you pick up vouchers (in Lafayette), is perfect.
I recomment purchasing turbo pass - because of the price (try adding all the tickets and you'll get it), and for not having to stay in queue at the entrance. Great ! I' ve visited many in 4 days, still remained some unvisited.
The turbo pass is worthwhile for anyone who wants to get as much history as possible in Pais. You should prepare well, because most attractions still have to be reserved in advance. Clear homepage and good price performance.
We had it for the maximum period of 6 days because we were in Paris for a week. You don't save a ton of money, but just booking the time slots makes things a lot easier when you get there. The week was planned out in advance, but there's no other way if you want to see/experience something. Queuing up on site is usually pointless because it's very busy in July and August. We always had two activities a day, except for Versailles. You need a whole day for that. Everything worked out great...but you should definitely book a time slot wherever possible. The times were always kept to and we got everywhere on time. I would do it again anytime.
I've seen the prices locally, the pass saves a lot of money if you use it.
The Paris Pass was a good investment, definitely worth buying.
Description is correct. Everything was very uncomplicated and gave us the opportunity to plan very flexibly, as the weather was mixed. The offer and the possibilities cover many needs to get to know Paris. It is a significant financial distribution.
The Turbopass is not just called that, it says it all. You don't have to wait long at attractions or sights where others queue for hours. Instead, you walk past the queues in a relaxed manner (in turbo mode). I can only recommend the Turbopass to everyone.
You could book everything in advance in a relaxed manner, then you didn't have to queue or wait anywhere. Was super easy and we would book it again and again. The guided tour in Montmartre was particularly good.
The turbo pass was really great! Everything worked out perfectly, you could reserve a lot in advance, so that you could make a good plan for visiting the city yourself. The guided tour was also great and very interesting, very nice guide!
Thanks to the Turbopass, we found our way around Paris very well, everything worked out wonderfully! There were a few minor irritations at the checkout because not everyone was familiar with the pass, but mostly everything worked smoothly. Thank you very much for the good price, the great selection and the great combination!
I found out about Turbo pass while researching visiting attractions in Paris. It seemed as a good choice as we stayed there for a week and wanted to see as much as we could. Me and my partner made an order 3 days pass + free 4 days museum pass and it was an excellent choice. It is very easy to navigate and everything was written on the pass how to use it for each attraction.Unfortunately, 7 days in Paris were not enough to see everything that is meant with this pass but we managed to see so much. I especially loved Museum pass as you don't have to wait in a line. It saves time and energy. With well planned visits, you can see so much. I would recommend to check in advance where you have to book a ticket in advance for your visit as it can happen they don't have free time slots during your stay. However, it's well spent money and definitely payed off. We saved a lot of money and time
Everything worked fine. It was my first time in Paris. You have to plan everything carefully if you want to achieve a lot. Also, don't forget to book early tickets with the entry time slot on the websites. I had Turbopass for 2 days. I've been to Saint Chapelle, Museum de Cluny, Pantheon, Museum d'Orsay, Versailles, Arc de Triumph, Boat trip, Invalides, Guided tour of Montmartre and VR Paris View Fly360 (the only thing I wouldn't recommend). I didn't make it to the Louvre, you have to plan almost the whole day for that. I didn't save an enormous amount, but a lot (30-40 euros). I had no problems with the ticket. You just have to take into account that the buses don't come on time, so it's better to use the metro.
We received the documents within a very short time. The information was good and helped us a lot when planning our stay. We particularly enjoyed the guided tour through Montmartre. It was very informative and entertaining. We can highly recommend the guided walk.
Buying the Turbopass was a great thing. We bought it for Paris with 6 people. Lots of great booking options and very varied. And you save a lot of money compared to individual bookings. It was inconvenient that you always had to laboriously type in the people's numbers somewhere when booking, then replace the temporary QR codes with the correct ones on site (which led to quite a wait when there were long queues on site). An app that contains all the tickets would also be good, instead of emails for each booking. It was also not clear that the hop-on hop-off bus is only available for 24 hours after redemption and not for the duration of the booking. In our case it was 5 days. It would also be a good idea to be able to book public transport tickets at the same time, at a discount. Because you almost always need these in big cities. All in all, the purchase was well worth it.
Best thing we did is get the Turbo Pass for Paris. Wish we had more time. Hop on Hop off is a great way to see what is to offer in the city. Museum pass gives you access to most of the museums in Paris area. Get it and you won’t regret it.
The metro ticket was awesome, it got us everywhere quickly and cheaply. We really liked the Generali balloon and it didn't cost anything with the pass. We would take the pass again and again.
The turbopass allows you to visit Paris without stress. It is easy to use. Highly recommended.
Thanks to the Paris City Pass, we were able to have a great time in Paris.

The Conciergerie has undergone one of Paris’ notable transformations, from a palace to a royal prison, during the French Revolution. Through the 14th century, it remained a place of detention, with its most famous prisoner being Marie Antoinette.
The Conciergerie is a stunning example of Gothic architecture featuring imposing towers, soaring arches, and intricate stone carvings. On the inside, the impressive vaulted ceilings and ornate carvings make it just as impressive as the exterior.
Step into the prison cell where Marie Antoinette spent the last ten weeks of her life before she was executed. To honor her memory, King Louis XVIII built an expatriate chapel on the site of her former cell.
The Conciergerie houses exhibits that bring its history to life, from artifacts of the Revolution to detailed reconstructions. These displays offer a vivid glimpse into the lives of prisoners and the workings of the revolutionary justice system.

To make the most of your visit, request a HistoPad tablet at the entrance, which will reconstruct each space to what it was in the past and even give a detailed history of the space.
Considered Europe’s largest medieval hall (1785 m2), the Hall of Soldiers has soaring vaulted ceilings and robust columns, a classic feature of Gothic architecture. Built under the rule of King Philippe IV, this was where soldiers met, ate, slept, and stored their weapons and firewood.
One of the prison’s most famous prisoners, Marie Antoinette spent the last 10 weeks of her life ‘secretly’ in a prison cell before she was tried and publicly beheaded by guillotine. Although reconstructed, the cell exhibit allows visitors to feel the gravity of her final days.
Historically used by the palace guards overseeing the prison, the Guard Room today is an exhibition space, displaying fascinating artifacts from the revolutionary era. The exhibits intend to shed light on the daily operations and security measures undertaken by the Conciergerie.
After the fire of 1776 destroyed the palace’s medieval chapel, the Girodin’s Chapel was built, to commemorate the Girondin deputies who perished during the Revolution. It gets its name from a Revolutionary group called the Girodins who were given a "last supper" of sorts here before being executed the next day.
The Women's Courtyard, an open-air area where female prisoners spent their days, offers a glimpse into their daily routines. This space starkly contrasts with the dark cells and highlights the everyday experiences (washing clothes, walking, and eating outside) of women incarcerated during the Revolution.
Built around 1353, the kitchens included two superimposed rooms: the king's kitchens on the upper floor and the common kitchens on the ground floor, where meals were prepared for the royals, the guards, and the prisoners. It features four large fireplaces, two windows, and a selection of cooking equipment.
This passageway links the various prison cells, revealing the stark differences in inmate accommodations, from communal rooms to solitary confinement while illustrating the harsh realities of prison life during the Revolution.
This space was a court instituted during the French Revolution for the trial of political offenders, at a time when justice was swift and often harsh. This room is rich with stories of infamous trials, offering a gripping glimpse into the legal chaos and fear that characterized this period.
Address: 2 Bd du Palais, 75001 Paris, France
