Present your e-ticket on your phone at the entrance when you arrive on your chosen date, walk straight in past the queue, and allow about 1.5 to 2 hours for the keep, the chapel and a loop of the curtain wall and moat — with the adjoining Bois de Vincennes next door to round out the day.

Frequently asked

What's included in the skip-the-line ticket?
Priority entry past the ticket-office queue, valid all day on your chosen date, plus access to the whole monument — the donjon (the great 52-metre keep, with the chambers and study of Charles V) and the Sainte-Chapelle de Vincennes with its Renaissance stained glass. You can also walk the courtyard, the curtain wall and the edge of the dry moat.
Is the ticket for a specific date and time?
It's for a specific date, but not a fixed time. Vincennes uses an open-date ticket: you choose your visit date, and it's valid for that whole day, so you can arrive any time during opening hours — there's no time slot to catch. Just tell us your preferred date when you book and we issue the ticket so you walk straight in past the queue.
Can I climb the keep?
Yes — the donjon is open to visitors and climbing it is the highlight of the castle. You ascend through the floors of the keep, past the royal chambers and the study of Charles V, with views over the courtyard, the curtain wall and the woods beyond. It is reached by historic spiral stairs, so it involves some climbing.
How long does a visit take?
Allow about 1.5 to 2 hours for the donjon and the Sainte-Chapelle, with time to walk the courtyard, the curtain wall and the edge of the moat. If you add the surrounding Bois de Vincennes for a walk, the visit easily becomes a relaxed half-day.
