The Fort Neuf de Vincennes (New Vincennes Fort) is a fortification built on the grounds of the Château de Vincennes on the east side of Paris. While the old chateau had been a significant fortification in its time by 1840 there was a need for a modern fort at that location capable of using and defending itself against artillery fire. A new bastioned fort was built to the east of the historic chateau.
