Your summer at the castle: vincennes summer club and cultural visits

Buoyed by the success of Club 2024, which made the Château de Vincennes a key venue for the Games celebrations and the most visited site in eastern Paris, the Mairie de Vincennes, in partnership with the Service historique de la Défense and the Centre des monuments nationaux, is launching the third edition of the Vincennes Estival Club. This free event will take over the castle grounds from 10 July to 2 August 2026, for three weeks of sporting, cultural and musical activities for all ages.

Sports activities, cultural discoveries, broadcasts, concerts... Find out all about the Vincennes Estival Club programme.

The cultural dimension is also central to this fan zone, marked by the exceptional opening of the keep and the Sainte-Chapelle to visitors at the usual rates. Revelacio tablets will be distributed subject to availability. At the same time, guided tours will be on offer to enable everyone to (re)discover the history and treasures of the site: happy hour tours of the Alain Keler - Histoires de vie exhibition, themed tours, workshops for younger visitors, etc. There's something for everyone!
