🏰 Vincennes Castle & tribute to Lafayette ✨

Immerse yourself in history by discovering the Château de Vincennes, one of the largest royal fortresses in Europe. With its imposing 50-meter-high keep, ramparts, and magnificent Sainte-Chapelle, this medieval castle transports you back to the era of kings and knights.

 

A former royal residence before Versailles, it witnessed many major events in French history.

​

Continue your visit with a moment of reflection at the tomb of the Marquis de Lafayette, hero of the American Revolution and faithful defender of the values of liberty.

 

Located in the Picpus Cemetery, this discreet but historically charged tomb is a moving place of remembrance, still decorated with flowers every July 4 in tribute to its key role in the independence of the United States.
