About Château de Vincennes Entry Ticket
Step inside the towering donjon, which is a massive inner tower in a medieval castle and the tallest of its kind in Europe. This is where kings schemed, philosophers brood, and royalty wore their best dress for the many, many Balls. Did you know? King Henry V of England died here, and legendary figures like Diderot and the Marquis de Sade called this place home sweet prison. As you wander through the hauntingly beautiful Sainte-Chapelle, still standing proud despite Revolution-era tantrums, you’ll wonder how something so Gothic could feel so glam. Guided tours in poetic Parisian French are available (limited space, très exclusive), or you can grab an audio guide in multiple languages.
Forget the crowds at Versailles. Château de Vincennes is your chance to experience French history with less fuss and more fortress all just a short métro ride from central Paris!
