The Château de Vincennes impresses with its size. The building itself is not gigantic but the whole complex covers a large area. It has a very long history and sits at the gates of one of the most beautiful parks around Paris. To know: it is one of the crossing points of the Paris marathon!

Located at the gates of Paris, the Château de Vincennes is a must-see in French history. Its nearly 50-meter-high keep makes it one of the tallest fortresses in Europe. The château served as a royal residence between the 12th and 17th centuries. Find all the information on accessing the château here: parisjetaime.com/billets/chateau-de-vincennes-m9000599.

The construction of the Château de Vincennes lasted from the 14th to the 17th century. It is the largest royal castle in France and one of the highest plain fortresses in Europe due to the height of its keep.
