The Sainte-Chapelle and Conciergerie are remnants of the medieval royal palace, the Palais de la Cité, open to the public today. The palace is adjacent to 36, quai des Orfèvres where the Direction Régionale de Police Judiciaire de Paris (Regional Directorate of the Judicial Police of Paris) is located.

The TGI will be located at the Judicial Campus of Paris (Cité judiciaire de Paris) in the Batignolles district.[when?] The announcement was made on 29 April 2009 by Nicolas Sarkozy, and the contract signed in 2012. The Regional Directorate of the Judicial Police of Paris will be collocated at this site[9][10]
