Moved to the Conciergerie, the principal prison of the Revolutionary Tribunal.
On August 1, 1793, Marie Antoinette was transferred from the Temple to the Conciergerie in Paris. This move was part of the preparations for her trial by the Revolutionary Tribunal. The Conciergerie, known as the ante-chamber to the guillotine, was where notorious prisoners awaited execution. Her transfer underscored the gravity of the accusations against her and marked the final stage before her trial and subsequent execution, closing a significant chapter in French royalty.
