The Hood

Went on a bit of reccie to check out the hood and discovered that (naturally) there really is a Chateau de Vincennes which was started in 1379 and completed in 1552.  At various times Louis's XIII and IV also lived here.


And where there's a chateau there's always a chapel and reportedly a fragment of Christ's cross and a thorn from his crown was housed here for a while.  So technically this would be 'the local' if one were religious...



but check out the gargoyles - they're awesome!
