Car parks to book in Vincennes

Key points: Château de Vincennes (52 m keep), Town Hall, bois de Vincennes (995 ha), Saint-Louis church. Parking is complex despite the metro and RER.

Château de Vincennes

Imposing, the château de Vincennes boasts one of Europe's tallest keeps, at 52 metres. This same keep would later serve as a prison before being converted into barracks by Napoleon I. 

The château has been listed as a historic monument since 1993. You can get there via RER A, which stops at Vincennes, or via metro line 1, from the Château de Vincennes stop.

The town hall is particular, as it was built in two phases, 44 years apart. Its styles blend together, and so it's no surprise to spot decorations from the neo-Renaissance and art deco eras. The monumental staircase that leads to the upper floors is known worldwide, while its glass dome, weighing 30 tonnes, is listed as a historic monument.

The largest park in Paris, it covers 995 hectares. Several buildings and installations can be found there, such as the floral park or the zoological park. There's also the famous racecourse, hosting 153 meetings a year, roughly one race every two days. To get there, line 1 stops at Saint-Mandé, Bérault and Château de Vincennes stations. Line 8 stops at Porte Dorée, Porte de Charenton, as well as Liberté and Charenton-Écoles.

Listed as a historic monument since 1996 by the Ministry of Culture, Saint-Louis church is known for its magnificent interior decor. Ceramics, sculptures, paintings and stained glass mingle, giving the impression of being in a real museum. It is located at 23 rue Céline Robert.

As we've seen, the commune is very well connected to the Paris region's transport network. Metro line 1 stops there, as does RER line A. The Porte de Vincennes also lets you link up to Paris by road.

A tourist and densely populated town, with more than 26,000 inhabitants per square kilometre, the council faces a challenge linked to its particular geographical situation. This raises the question of parking. Discover right now all the car parks in the town of Vincennes to park with peace of mind.

Key points: 1,600 public spaces (Indigo, Effia). Yespark offers an alternative rental at the best price.

The town offers a total of more than 1,600 spaces, allowing drivers to park their vehicle safely, spread across several car parks. Most of them are managed by the Indigo company, starting with the Coeur de ville car park, located avenue des Vosges with its 138 spaces. The Indigo company also manages the Château-Marigny car park, located between Paris and Vincennes. This car park, with 631 spaces, is accessible from Cours Marigny. 

Effia manages 4 other car parks, including the Marché car park with its 249 spaces, at 89 rue de Fontenay. To park there for a day, expect to pay €30.30. Fairly high rates, which push you to consider other solutions, such as the Mowat car park, at 16, rue du Commandant Mowat, for which it's better to opt for parking rental with Yespark. Leader on the European market, we offer to rent parking spaces at the best price, accessible at all times.

The council is split into several small zones. The first favours free parking, for a maximum duration of 15 minutes. It mainly covers the town centre and the town's shopping areas. In the event of overstaying and a check, the user nevertheless risks a €35 fine.

A second zone allows short-stay parking, for up to 2 hours, to encourage vehicle rotation. The hour costs €2, Monday to Saturday. Payments are to be made via pay-and-display machine or via the PayByPhone and ParkNow apps.

Residents are entitled to a small paperless card, directly linked to the vehicle's number plate. This sticker entitles residents to a preferential rate. For €8 a week, you can park on the street without having to worry about anything. Sticker requests are to be made at the Town Hall car park reception, below the town hall, or directly online. Standard information such as the applicant's details as well as the car's documents will be requested.

Key points: Saturated areas: Clément Vienot, Mairie (2h max), western district (near Paris/hospital), avenue Aubert, Solidarité – Carnot.

Clément Vienot

Short, rue Clément Viennot is close to the Vincennes and Château de Vincennes metro and RER stops. A few steps further south are the wood and the Fort Neuf. Within walking distance, further east, you'll find the Fontenay-sous-Bois RER stop, as well as the municipal aquatic centre.

Right in the town centre, the town hall is a reasonable distance from the multimedia library as well as the Jardins du Midi, and also the bois de Vincennes. The building is also in the zone where parking is only allowed for a maximum of two hours. Far from ideal for a working day.

The west of the council area lets you get closer to Paris and its Charonne or Bel-Air districts. The Saint-Mandé metro stop links the two towns, while the wood lies a little further south, as does the Bégin military hospital. The district is crossed by Avenue de Paris, which then lets you take the ring road.

Avenue Aubert connects to avenue de la République, which joins Avenue de Paris as well as rue de Montreuil. It's a small, narrow street with a few parking spaces. It lies close to the Vincennes RER stop, as well as the Jardin du Couchant. Further east, the street lets you reach the town centre in a few minutes.

Very lively, the Solidarité – Carnot district is packed with small shops and local businesses. Many restaurants and cafés line the streets. To liven up your evenings, the Berthelot municipal theatre is just a few minutes' walk away. For cultural days, the Raffinerie gallery is also within reasonable distance.
