Located near Paris and beside the forest that gave the town its name, Vincennes offers a rich architectural and historic heritage that stretches far beyond simply its Château.
On the doorstep of Paris, Vincennes provides numerous possibilities for walking in an exceptional environment: the Château, the town hall, the church of Saint-Louis, the diversity of its architecture, the proximity of the forest and its emblematic sites (hippodrome, floral park, zoo…).
The wealth of its historic, architectural and cultural heritage has earned it the “Town of Art and History” label.
The Tourist Office of Vincennes keeps you informed of all the activities taking place in the town and suggests ideas for days out in the local area.
Themed visits in the town and in the Forest of Vincennes, on foot or by bike, are also suggested.
For all your tailor-made projects, the groups department is on hand to help you create a programme that suits your needs.
