Vincennes

WELCOME TO VINCENNES,

a hospitable town just seven kilometers east of the heart of Paris. Along with its historic monuments, Vincennes is proud of its environment and its privilegied location bordering the vast Bois de Vincennes woodland park. Lovely green squares and flower beds, quality urban development, a wide cariety of leisure and sports facilities, a dynamic economy, busy shops and excellent public transport service create quality living today framed by the charms of the past.
From the Revolution to the Second World War, the castle witnessed the storms of history, serving in turn, or simultaneously, as a state prison, a porcelain manufactory, an arsenal and barracks.
Vincennes is also the gathering point of most motorcycle riders around Paris EVERY friday nights from roughly 11PM onwards...
A lot of things are happening in the place on fridays, this is the heart of the French motorbike lobby.

Some riders heading towards the Castle of Vincennes on a friday night...

This was a rallye against a law our stupid transport minister is trying to put through.
this took place the 5th of June, 10000 bikers from everywhere in France came to Vincennes, the starting point of the Rally.
Brice and myself were among them.
