(Last Update: 26.01.2025) When I first settled in Paris, there were presidential elections in France and François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy were competing for the presidency. At that time, in May 2012, I went to Vincennes for the first time and attended Hollande's election rally. Vincennes CastleThe rally held in the large area behind was the first election rally I ever attended, so it was an unforgettable experience for me. People drinking their champagne They were listening to Hollande, having fun and applauding wildly. At that time, I didn't understand a word of what Hollande said, but the environment I was in was truly impressive. That's why Vincennes Castle has a special value for me.

An exquisite castle from the Middle Ages located right next to Paris. Vincennes Castle – Château de Vincennes (if you beat a castle) It was used as the royal castle of France from the 14th century to the 17th century.

In 1150, Henry VII. Built by Louis as a hunting lodge The structure later took on the form of a real castle in the 14th century. This castle, which will make you feel like you are in a medieval town when you look at it, offers an interesting view because it is right next to Paris. Although I have seen many castles in France and various cities in Europe, it is a really nice feeling to come across such a castle almost in Paris. Therefore, I recommend those who have the time and opportunity to see it.

Vincennes Castle consists of several building complexes. If you wish, you can buy a ticket and visit the inside of these buildings, or you can just walk around the courtyard for free. The part of the castle seen in the photo suddenly appears before you on the right after you walk a little further from the entrance. Further on, on the left, there is a large chapel.

If you do not want to visit the inside, when you continue straight ahead, you pass the residence sections, which are later period buildings, and go out of the castle and reach a wide plain. This is the region I mentioned at the beginning of the article, where Hollande held his election rally in May 2012. If you continue left from here Paris Botanical Garden – Parc Floral de ParisIf you proceed to the right diagonally, you will reach the “Lac Daumesnil” side. In other words, when you exit the south gate of the castle, the place you will reach is, in its most general name: Bois de Vincennes – Vincennes Forest will be…
