巴黎凡圣城堡印象

The Chateau Vincennes is a quick Metro ride away from the city of Paris, and worth a look. The castle has a fascinating history, and the audio guide was thorough and interesting. After spending the morning at the castle, we walked around the charming town of Vincennes, a pleasant respite from the nosiness and crowds of Paris. If you have an extra day in Paris, we recommend Vincennes.

At the end of line 1, Chateau de Vincennes is impressive. Do not expect a mini Versailles, this is an early medieval keep complete with moat and bare stone walls throughout. It is, however, replete with history, which is simply but elegantly presented in the main chambers through digital displays and placards. The story of Charles V managing his forces from the small "office" on the battlements so as to regain lost French territories, without taking the field himself, captured my imagination. His living quarters in the donjon, and the Sainte Chapelle opposite, are similarly simple, elegant and entrancing. Be warned, there are quite a few steps.A great morning visit, finished off with an excellent Boeuf Bourguignon at le Drapeau restaurant opposite the main gate.

Conveniently located at the very end of the #1 Metro, this feels like a getaway from central Paris. An important complex of buildings in the history of France spanning many periods of construction and use. There is a lot of restoration work being done. The stunning chapel is open and the cleaned interior is now dazzling. The chapel facade was still shrouded in scaffolding. The whole area in front of the old chateau is still very torn up. The rooms in the donjon are mostly empty so the interest is as a defensive structure. There were no crowds here. There is an extensive audio tour in English that would take quite a while to totally complete.

For my fourth trip to France I had prepared a list of places and things I had not already been to or experienced; the Chateau Vincennes was one of them. Unfortunately I had also identified the Val de Europe as another. I had travelled to the "mall" in the morning, had a very difficult experience in the Auchan supermarket involving signatures and passports (not worth going, not worth going into!) and was quite jaded by the whole experience. With a little more presence of mind as I approached Vincennes stop on the RER I recalled the Chateau was on my list so I hopped off. With my navigo pass I could hop on and off wherever I pleased so off I got. I was met with a charming town centre; peaceful and pretty, and plenty of signage pointing me to the Chateau which, as it turns out, was not necessary. The Chateau is located in the midst of the town centre. While this is no Versailles, it is well kept and well presented. Tickets are purchased just across the drawbridge and the audioguide provides an excellent commentary on the life and times of this amazing complex which includes the chateau and a wonderful chapelle. The complex had been utilised as a prison at one point which meant that furnishings and trimmings had long been removed. This lovely place will be appreciated by people with imagination more so that people with expectations of being bedazzled. The architecture and building materials centuries old timber and intricate designs, are inspiring. The magnificent chapelle and it's incredible stained glass must be experienced. I cannot recall a café although there are plenty of options in the town centre adjacent. I would suggest, as always, the visitor takes plenty of water as the grounds are extensive and on a warm day there is not much shelter through the central area from the sun. Plenty of stairs in the Chateau itself, typically the winding staircase, but not as daunting as other staircases in Paris! This place is well worth a trip if only to experience a significant part of French history without the maddening crowds.

If you are at Disney with the kids, do them a favor and bring them here. The fortress dates from the middle ages and was used as both a royal residence and a prsion. The donjon/keep is fascinating, as is the Sainte Chappelle. There is nothing else like it easily accessible from Paris. Worth a half a day.

The visit encompasses not only the chateau itself, but the walled fortification (with a wide, deep moat) and the church. The place is one of the most authentic-feeling I ever visited. Definitely worth a visit. And, as you're there, take a walk through the city itself. It's a bucolic, quiet place, with lots of Boulangeries and a beautiful church.

Impressive castle palace of the French kings before they built Versailles. Enormous inner court, hughe towers. A pity that the Chapelle Royal cannot be visited. For genealogy fans: you can search for the military data of your ancesters in the army archives.

This chateau is more of a fortress than a palace - try Fontainebleau for the latter. It's just a short ride from the center of Paris on Metro Line 1 (ride in the front for a fun view as you race through the tunnel), and its closeness and inexpensive admission price elevate it from four stars to five, in my opinion.You can walk around for free, but have to pay to go inside the chapel and the donjon. If you're going to do this, I would definitely get the audioguide (for which we had to leave a photo ID as a deposit) if you're interested in learning the history of the chateau. The audioguide is just OK, though, as there was sometimes much more detail than I would have liked, and it was sometimes confusing in its directions about where to go next. It did provide some interesting information, such as that the interior walls of some of the chambers were not just bare stone, as they are today, but were originally paneled in wood. One paneled ceiling still remains.The surrounding "village" area is also worth a stroll, with a number of cafés and shops, minus the crowds and traffic of the city center.

You can reach the castle with metro line,the castle is not having furniture anymore,but anyway is a part of french history.

Historic but not particularly interesting site, an easy metro ride just outside Paris. An informative audio tour, but basically only two points of interest inside the walls: an underwhelming gothic church and unfurnished medieval castle, leaving to your imagination what it might have looked like. Perhaps a necessary stop for students of French medieval history, but not a must-see while in Paris.
