The Bois deVincennes is a park in the English landscape manner to the east of Paris.
The Bois deVincennes, as the Bois de Boulogne, is generally not counted as part of Paris proper, since it consists only of public land without population except for a few custodians.
In the south-west of the park stands the Redoute de Gravelle, a military redoubt constructed under the reign of Louis-Philippe of France in the 19th century.
The Vincennes Manufactory opened in 1740 in converted premises at the royal château of Vincennes.
Five years later, the company was granted a royal warrant, giving it the exclusive right to produce "porcelain in the style of Saxony, painted and gilded and depicting human figures" and also to produce porcelain sculptures and flowers.
Vincennes artists continued to look to Meissen products for inspiration, copying their stylized flowers or landscapes.
