Presentation :

Aerial view of the Château de Vincennes. The drawing is in portrait format and has no frame. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The château is set within a vast crenellated enclosure, punctuated by towers and gates, and bordered by a moat. Drawbridges provide access. The main building and secondary buildings are located in the lower part. The keep can be seen on the right. Nearby is the Sainte-Chapelle, a Gothic religious edifice. The Bois de Vincennes grows in the distance.
