Chateau de Vincennes Ticket

This ticket provides direct access to the three monuments of the Chateau de Vincennes: the Castle, the Keep, and the Sainte-Chapelle de Vincennes chapel.

Chateau de Vincennes

The Vincennes fortress, built between the 14th and 17th centuries, is among Europe's largest medieval castles. Initially a hunting lodge, it hosted the weddings of kings Philip III and Philip IV. This ticket allows exploration of its halls, including the personal office of Charles V, which contains the monarch's library and study room.

The Keep of Vincennes

The Keep serves as the main watchtower, guarding the fortress and protecting valuable resources. From its top, visitors can enjoy views of the Vincennes complex.

Sainte-Chapelle de Vincennes

This 14th-century chapel, established by Charles V, is a notable example of Flamboyant Gothic architecture. Due to an exhibition on Henri III, access to this chapel is currently not possible.
