Palais de justice de Paris - France - Courthouses on Waymarking.com

[FR] Le Palais de Justice de Paris est un ensemble architectural situé dans 1er arrondissement de capitale sur l’île de la Cité (dont il occupe environ le tiers de la superficie), et abritant les principales institutions judiciaires françaises.

Le palais est l'un des centres névralgique du système judiciaire français, puisque qu'il abrite notamment la Cour de cassation, la plus haute juridiction du pays en la matière.

La cour d'Appel de Paris y siège également, tous comme la plupart des tribunaux parisiens relevant de son ressort comme le Tribunal de grande instance de Paris. La proximité du siège de la Direction régionale de la police judiciaire de la Préfecture de police (DRPJ) qui occupe des locaux attenants situés au 36, quai des Orfèvres, facilite la communication entre les deux institutions.

[EN] The Palais de Justice, located in the Île de la Cité in central Paris, France, is built on the site of the former royal palace of Saint Louis, of which the Sainte Chapelle remains. Thus the justice of the state has been dispensed at this site since medieval times. From the sixteenth century to the French Revolution this was the seat of the Parlement de Paris.

The Palais also contains the ancient structure of the Conciergerie, a former prison, now a museum, where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned before being executed on the guillotine.

The Palais can be considered as the equivalent of the American Supreme Court.
