The Château de Vincennes is a historic fortress located on the eastern edge of Paris, France. Originally built in the 14th century as a royal hunting lodge, it was later transformed into a formidable castle with a keep, moat, and defensive walls. The château served as a royal residence for French kings, including Charles V and Charles VI, and played a significant role in the country's medieval and Renaissance history. Today, it stands as one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Europe and is open to the public, offering a glimpse into France's regal past.
