During the French Revolution Marie Antoinette was held prisoner, before her death by guillotine, in the Conciergerie. It is believed that her cell is where a chapel is now...devoted to her memory. This is a gorgeous stained glass window which bears her insignia.This is the actual pitcher from which Marie Antoinette poured her last drink before going to the guillotine.

This is an example of what Marie Antoinette's cell would have looked like. The rug is her actual rug. I have bought a couple of books about Marie-Antoinette, but have only gotten through one so far. It is called "The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette," and was a really good book. If you like historical fiction check it out.
