Presentation

Discover the Château de Vincennes, its keep and its Sainte-Chapelle during a guided tour!

A symbol of the modern state.

The building asserts royal power: it protects the capital but also guarantees the kings against uprisings. It was the heart of the French monarchy until 1682, when Louis XIV preferred Versailles. The keep was used as a prison from the 16th century until the 19th century: Fouquet, the Marquis de Sade and Mirabeau were all held there. Transformed into barracks and an arsenal by Napoleon I, the fortress protected Paris during the invasions of the 19th century.

Payment methods
