The Bois de Vincennes is a wooded park located east of Paris in the 12th arrondissement. Spanning 995 hectares or 9.95 square kilometers, it is the largest green space in the capital and one of the largest municipal parks in the world's major urban centers. Notably, it is twice the size of New York's Central Park and over 40 square meters larger than London's Richmond Park. The park features four lakes, including the artificial Gravelle Lake, Minimes Lake, and Daumesnil Lake, as well as the natural hydraulic network of Lake Saint-Mandé.
Presentation and History
Formerly royal hunting grounds, the Bois de Vincennes has transformed into a magnificent place for leisurely walks. King Hugues Capet established it as his hunting ground when he resided on the Île de la Cité. Later, it became exclusively used by the kings of France. During the French Revolution, the Bois de Vincennes became a military training area, and the army cleared 166 hectares to construct various buildings. It was Napoleon III who envisioned transforming the Bois de Vincennes into a vast park for the enjoyment of the Parisian population. To fulfill this vision, the Emperor enlisted engineer Jean-Charles Alphand and architect Jean-Pierre Barillet-Deschamps. In 1860, the Emperor bequeathed the park to the city of Paris.
