Your experience

Unveiling Chateau de Vincennes

Imagine standing before a towering vision of French history that transformed from the once opulent residence of King Louis IX to a formidable arsenal safeguarding Napoleon's weapons. Climb up tp the 52-meter tall medieval keep where Parisian cityscape views await you. You can make out the Eiffel Tower at the horizon, the spires of the Notre Dame cathedral, and the winding curves of the Seine River at the horizon from the keep.

From royal soirees to Napoleon's arsenal

Step inside the keep's cool interior and relive French history. King Henry V breathed his last in these halls, a chilling reminder of the Chateau's pivotal role in the Hundred Years' War. The keep also held other famous French personalities at the time like Fouquet, King Louis X’s accountant accused of misusing funds and potentially threatening the king. A multilingual audio guide will be your companion, narrating a tale of battles and strategies as you descend the keep.
