Visit Bois de Vincennes in ParisBois de Vincennes is a large Parisian wood on the eastern side of Paris. The Vincennes town on its edge is well connected to Paris by metro line 1. This is a nice town we recommend for a Paris stay. Together with Bois de Boulogne on the western side of Paris, Bois de Vincennes was designed in the second part of the 19th century by Haussmann. |
