Chateau De Vincennes

About

The Château de Vincennes is a monumental testament to French medieval architecture, boasting the world’s tallest keep and an exquisite Sainte‑Chapelle. Located on the eastern edge of Paris, it offers a unique blend of royal history, medieval fortification and later prison functions, now transformed into a public museum open to visitors of all ages. The site welcomes guests with a range of activities: guided tours, free entry for minors under 18 and for 18‑25 year‑olds from the EU or non‑European permanent residents of France, and paid admission of €13 for adults. Exciting group and educational programs are available for small and large classes, as well as for social field groups and tourists, with tickets that can be pre‑booked online. Visitors can explore the Grand Keep, the opulent Sainte‑Chapelle, the impressive armory, the Royal pavilions, and the surrounding Bois de Vincennes. The Château’s micro‑tourism agenda includes private visits, events, and musical performances. Regularly updated cultural events can be discovered via the official website. Tickets are conveniently booked through the national monuments portal (https://tickets.monuments-nationaux.fr). Although booking is not mandatory for a single visit, groups and families are encouraged to reserve seats ahead of time, especially during peak tourist seasons.
