History of La Conciergerie
At the end of 17th century, La Conciergerie was transformed into the prison for the wealthiest criminals. Of all the prisoners, the most famous would be Marie-Antoinette. During her imprisonment she entrusted her palace keys to a concierge warren ; who would secretly deliver letters to and from the palace.
The La Conciergerie has played several roles over its lifetime, from being a part of parliament, imprisoning the richest, and political criminals to imprisoning Marie-Antoinette and it’s in final role as an art gallery museum classified as a National Historic Monument. As La Conciergerie transformed, so did the concierge role. Overtime, the role of concierge grew from residentials to hotels in France, then expanded across Europe and by 1976 arrived to the USA. In 1982, Concierge Unlimited International became the birthplace of the private and corporate industry.
Though the role of a concierge may have expanded into new territory in the business world. The root vales still hold same as it did in the 17th century. An honor, we vow to continue to embrace in our roles as a concierge. An integrity to be our clients “keeper of the keys”, while providing a one of a kind services to our clients and to our queens.
