| From the
King’s Hunting Lodge (now the Vincennes
Château) to the Fragonard Museum next
to the old Pasteur laboratory, the Department’s
major sites are testaments to a glorious past.
This also holds true for the Vincennes Zoo,
the riverside taverns (“guinguette”)
or the Rose Garden – each site has its
own history, secrets and atmosphere. |
