FORMER ROYAL PRISONS OF SAINT-AMOUR
Former royal prisons of Saint-Amour, now a prison of passage and offering a very interesting visit.
These former royal prisons housed the auditorium. Discover the prisons, the courtyard, the jailer's apartment, the pistol, the chapel, the prisoners' courtyard and three basement dungeons with wicket doors. They were mainly used to try smugglers. After the Revolution, the auditorium was occupied by Octroi employees, and the rest of the building became a temporary prison for prisoners brought in on foot. Several hundred stayed there every year!
