Paris Medieval Castles Day Trip 9 hr

Step into the Middle Ages on a day trip from Paris to two castles shaped by centuries of royal and military history. At the Château de Vincennes, discover how a 12th-century hunting lodge became a royal residence and a formidable fortress. Its vast walls, towers, and keep rise above the grounds, while the Sainte-Chapelle reflects a story of construction that stretched across generations.

Continue to Blandy-les-Tours, a rare example of medieval military architecture in the Paris region. Its past spans a fortified manor, a stronghold during the Hundred Years’ War, a Renaissance residence, and a farm. Private transportation connects the two sites, and tickets and fees are included. The 9-hour outing begins at Le Dalou bar on Place de la Nation, with metro and RER connections nearby.
