Vincennes is a city which now touches Paris to the east but was long enough far from the capital for King Charles V to decide to build a castle there in complete safety. A former prison now a museum, the vast fortified complex contains the highest keep in Europe as well as a superb Sainte Chapelle. The Château Royal borders on one side the Bois de Vincennes and the lush Parc Floral, on the other the upscale city, with its lively center and interesting heritage.
