Vincennes Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château de Vincennes impresses with its size. The building itself is not gigantic but the whole complex covers a large area. It has a very long history and sits at the gates of one of the most beautiful parks around Paris. To know: it is one of the crossing points of the Paris marathon!

Vincennes Obelisk

Highlight • Other

The pyramid of the Bois de Vincennes or obelisk of the Bois de Vincennes is an obelisk erected in 1731 in the center of the Bois de Vincennes, currently in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, to mark its reforestation by Louis XV, and to provide an orientation function.

Popular legend has it that the obelisk was erected on the site of the oak tree under which Saint Louis dispensed justice in the 13th century. (source Wikipedia)

Lake Gravelle

Highlight • Lake

Located to the south-east of the Bois de Vincennes, Lac de Gravelle is the smallest of the four local lakes. Its area revolves around one hectare. Formerly supplied by the Marne, today the water is brought back from the Seine thanks to a hydraulic system provided by the pumping plant of the Pont d'Austerlitz. This preserved natural site is in fact quite artificial. But no less charming!

Lake Daumesnil

Highlight • Lake

Lake Daumesnil is an unmissable place in the Bois de Vincennes. A fairly large expanse of water where you can get some fresh air and admire the nature of the Ile-de-France region.

However, it is an artificial lake created during the Second Empire. But it offers a natural break just a few steps from the capital, to the delight of Parisians.

Lake Daumesnil is a must-see in the Bois de Vincennes. A fairly large body of water where you can take in the air and admire the nature of Ile-de-France.

It is, however, an artificial lake created during the Second Empire. But it offers a natural break a few steps from the capital, to the delight of Parisians.

Nice loop on Sunday morning, much of it closed to traffic on the banks of the Marne. Do not frequent at a late hour walkers on the track
