Chateau de Vincennes

This one sure towers above many.


Chateau de Vincennes

Its origins came from a hunting lodge and it was made around 1150. In the 13th century it turned into something more substantial. Then it was enlarged again in the late 14th century. The precursor to Hollywood?

Now it is the main base of the France's Defence Historical Service.
