Château de Vincennes

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:06:34

Originally a meagre 12th-century hunting lodge, this castle was expanded several times throughout the centuries until it reached its present size under Louis XIV. Notable features include the beautiful 52m-high keep (1370) and the royal chapel (1552), both of which are open to visits. Note that the chapel is only open between 11am and noon, and 2.30pm and 4pm.
