Chateau de Vincennes



On a brisk and sunny day, we decided to visit the Chateau de Vincennes. Its construction originally started during the XII Century but its size and architecture developed over time as different kings took power (like the majority of French castles). It was mainly built to be the fortress we still see today by King Charles V (XIII Century). It is the oldest castle in France and its dungeon is the highest in Europe.
