Fort Neuf de Vincennes, Military fort in Bois de Vincennes, France
The Fort Neuf de Vincennes features limestone walls with bastions and fortifications positioned strategically within the eastern section of Paris.
Constructed between 1841 and 1844 as part of the Thiers Wall fortifications, this military structure enhanced the defense capabilities of Paris.
The fort maintains military archives from the French Army, Navy, and Air Force, preserving centuries of national defense documentation.
The Ministry of Defense continues to operate the fort, limiting public access while supporting various military activities and administrative functions.
The fort gained notoriety as the location where German spy Mata Hari faced execution by firing squad in October 1917.
