VINCENNES
On the outskirts of Paris, Vincennes strikes a rare balance between the energy of city life and the tranquillity of a village.
Nestled against the woods, the town is centred around its château, a monumental silhouette that evokes its royal past. Its streets, on a human scale, are lined with townhouses, middle-class apartment blocks, Art Deco façades and more contemporary architecture. Well-connected yet sheltered from the hustle and bustle of Paris, Vincennes boasts a vibrant centre, brought to life by its independent shops, its market and a new generation of creative venues. People come here to stroll, enjoy a good meal, pick out a beautiful item or simply savour that unique feeling of being somewhere else entirely, just a few minutes from Paris.
