Along with the Sainte-Chapelle and the Conciergerie, the Palais de Justice was part of the ancient Palais de la Cité, the residence of French kings from the 10th-14th centuries. The palace is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Paris, but suffered several fires and was partly rebuilt in the late 1800s. It has continued to serve as the home of the French justice institutions since the Middle Ages. Today, the Palais de Justice still hosts the Paris Court of Appeals as well as the Court of Cassation, one of France’s highest appeals courts. The Tribunal de Grande Instance, the Paris High Court, recently moved out, however, moving into to the brand new Cité Judiciaire (the largest in Europe both in size and activity) in the far north of the 17th arrondissement in June 2018.

Beautiful old building and architecture!! Vive la France ️
Do not confuse this place with the chapel beside it, Sainte Chappelle, which houses the beautiful stained glass windows. This is primarily a place of legitimate legal business, though some guided tours are offered. You can stop for a quick look from the outside while visiting Sainte Chappelle.
This cathedral is absolutely beautiful and a must see.
Grand building, and the gates, awesome with great workmanship and craftsmanship, all class.
The judicial house complex of Paris. Has many buildings built inside... Looks really pretty from the outside.

The Palais de Justice is located in the heart of Paris. The pomp and grandeur of the palace is befitting of kings with its gold and black railing. During the French Revolution, Marie Antoinette was imprisoned there and eventually guillotined. You can get there by getting off at the Cite metro. Entry was free when I went but the queues were horrendous.
