Vincennes, Medieval castle and commune in Val-de-Marne, France
Vincennes extends across the eastern outskirts of Paris, featuring stone buildings, commercial streets, and residential neighborhoods surrounded by green spaces.
The Château de Vincennes, constructed during the 14th century, served as a residence for French monarchs and later transformed into a state prison.
The commune maintains multiple art galleries, performance venues, and exhibition spaces that showcase works from local and international artists throughout the year.
Two stations on Paris Métro Line 1 and the RER A station connect Vincennes directly to central Paris and neighboring districts within 20 minutes.
The Vincennes porcelain manufactory produced fine ceramics from 1740 to 1756, developing techniques that influenced French decorative arts.
