Chateau de Vincennes





Bastille memorial






Chateau de Vincennes


Our walk to the chateau was lovely.  Just a moment after these pictures were taken
it began to rain steadily.





A door leading nowhere


Moat



Bridge



Work is being done under the "paper" covering.


Hotel de ville Mande




New opera house at Bastille





Promenade Plantee



I have never seen this walkway in late spring or summer.  Looking at some of the pictures
online I regret that I will never see this beautiful spot at its best.

See original image

The Promenade ends with a spiral staircase leading up from the old railway bed
to the streets above.
I did not look down and I did not fall off.
