Located in hip Vincennes near Paris,
Bangsaen Castle

Take a short trip to the eastern suburbs of Paris to see the Château de Vincennes, a true symbol of the modern French nation. With this historic building, you can see the power of the French monarchy in the 14th century and learn about the history of how the capital was protected! Climb the stairs to the 52-metre fortress tower, the tallest in Europe, with fantastic views.

Bangsaen Street itself is as hip and pretty as Seongsu-dong in Seoul, so I recommend seeing the castle along with Bangsaen Street.

Bangsaen Castle and Park together

Bangsaen Castle is located next to Bangsaen Park, so you can see the feel of a medieval castle in nature. So, even if you leave behind the historical value, I definitely recommend going there as it is great for taking pictures and can be quite relaxing.

Armory during the Napoleonic era

When you visit the Château de Vincennes, you can see how this building was converted into barracks and an armory during the reign of Napoleon I. Bangsaen Castle is a beautiful modern place with a complex history but is now a beautiful modern place. Recommended if you are looking for a travel destination near Paris.
