The castle of Vincennes was the favorite residence of the king Louis IX (also known as Saint Louis). Although he was not born here, he often staid there to dispense justice.
This statue can be seen in front of the castle.

Relatively unknown this is the biggest medieval french castle.
It is really worth going there. 20 minutes by metro Line 1.
Free entrance everyday to the courtyard.

There are 2 main ways of going to Vincennes through public transportation :
RER line A station Vincennes
Metro 1 direction Chateau de Vincennes
Take the metro ! The RER is more expensive and the metro station is just in front of the castle.
