La Force Prison

Under your feet

Description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Force_Prison

Descripcion foto: After passing through several hands, the buildings were acquired, in 1754, by the war ministry, and were transformed, in 1780, into a prison for debtors and those charged with civil offences. A smaller part of the Prison, called La Petite Force was used as a prison for prostitutes. During the French Revolution, this prison was used for political prisoners, and it was here that the close friend of Marie Antoinette, the Princesse de Lamballe was taken. La Force came under attack by violent mobs on 3 September 1792, and the four following days: one hundred and sixty prisoners, among whom were three priests and the Princesse de Lamballe, were massacred there. The two prisons of La Force were demolished in 1845.
