Travel back through the centuries!
Discover the Château de Vincennes from a whole new angle with Revelacio, a new on-board mediation system!
Two tours for all ages
From 14 February 2024, all visitors to the château who have opted for a self-guided tour will have a tablet included in their admission fee. They will then be able to choose between two types of tour - adult and family - lasting 1 hour 30 minutes.
The adult tour: an immersive, individual experience
From the legend of Saint Louis's Oak of Justice to the bombardments of the 20th century, via the period of splendour during the reign of Charles V and the period when the castle was a state prison, visitors will be able to explore the castle at their own pace and discover the key moments in its history!
Augmented reality for families
The family tour is designed to be followed by an adult and a child, who will share the experience thanks to specially adapted texts. As a team, they can explore the different areas by following a quest to help three little time travellers who are passionate about history!

To go further
To bring these never-before-seen scenes to life, an in-depth historical reconstruction was carried out in collaboration with a number of experts. Based on the work carried out by Jean Chapelot, director of research at the CNRS on the Château de Vincennes, and the many historical sources available, the Centre des monuments nationaux and Alto (designer of the tablets) coordinated the dialogue between scientific experts and specialists in 2D and 3D reconstructions.
