Paris - Chateau de Vincennes - and back to the Tuileries

The Chateau de Vincennes is a castle/protected city on the outskirts of Paris that was first built in the 14th Century. We took the subway to the Chateau metro stop then on our way back we stopped at the Touleries to relax.

The 14th Century Chateau, we really enjoyed looking around this Castle and had a real gothic feel, you could get a real feel for what it might have been like living in this Castle back in the 14th Century. It looked like right out of a story book. Me in front: "King of the Castle":
