PALAIS DE JUSTICE, PARIS

(Redirected from Paris Hall of Justice)


The 'Palais de Justice' is located in the Île de la Cité in central Paris, France.
It is built on the site of the former royal palace of Saint Louis, of which the Sainte Chapelle remains.
It houses various courts:

★ the Paris court of large claims (''tribunal de grande instance'') and the associated Paris correctional court; as of 2007 there are discussions so as to their possible relocation in another location;

★ the Paris Court of Appeal;

★ the French Cour de cassation (highest jurisdiction in the French judicial order).
It also houses the Conciergerie, a former prison, now a museum, notable because Marie Antoinette was imprisoned there before being executed on the guillotine.
Security is maintained by gendarmes.
