Monument Jeu d'Enfant 2025: a fantastic bestiary at the Conciergerie de Paris

The All Saints' Day vacations 2025 are off to a great start , with an exceptional weekend to be enjoyed in France's monuments. Children and their parents are invited to Monuments Nationaux to take part in the latest edition of Monument Jeu d'Enfant, a fun way to learn more about our heritage.

At la Conciergerie, a weekend of entertainment and games awaits the youngest visitors, on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th October 2025. It's impossible to resist the call: the monument is steeped inhistory, as fascinating as it is beautiful. Built in the 10th century, the Conciergerie was part of the Palais de la Cité, the first residence of the kings of France until the end of the 14th century, before being transformed into a courthouse and then a prison for Queen Marie-Antoinette during the French Revolution.
