Royal Regency

The Resort & Setting

Royal Regency is an independent, exchange-affiliated timeshare property at 69-71 Rue Defrance in Vincennes, in the Val-de-Marne department just outside Paris. Google reviewers (4.3/5 from 689 reviews) describe it in straightforward terms: studios and apartment-style suites fitted with kitchenettes, giving owners the option to self-cater rather than eat out every meal. The official listing also notes DVD players in the units — a reminder that this is a no-frills, functional resort rather than one with extensive on-site leisure facilities. It suits owners who want a comfortable, central base for city trips rather than a beach or spa holiday.

The Area & Things to Do

Vincennes is best known for the Château de Vincennes, one of the largest fortified royal castles in Europe, and for the Bois de Vincennes, Paris's largest public park, with its lake, boating, and the Parc Zoologique de Paris. The town has its own Paris Métro station (Line 1), making it an easy, direct ride into central Paris — a real advantage for owners who want to split their stay between quiet evenings in Vincennes and full days sightseeing in the capital. Vincennes itself has a lively market, cafés, and shops along Rue Defrance and the surrounding streets, so there's plenty to do locally without needing a car.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Royal Regency and are considering giving it up, or simply renting it out some years, the process on BidMyTimeshare.com is a straightforward owner-to-owner listing. You set your own asking price — we don't set or negotiate it for you — and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale or rental; sellers pay a small one-time listing fee to advertise, which keeps costs predictable whether your week sells quickly or takes a while to find the right buyer.

Because Royal Regency is affiliated with RCI for exchanges, your listing can appeal to buyers who already belong to that network and want a European base for future exchanges, as well as to buyers who simply want to use the week in Vincennes itself. Be upfront in your listing about which network your membership is tied to, since this is often a deciding factor for buyers comparing several resorts.

Before agreeing a price with a buyer, check with the resort's owners' association or management for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, as these aren't always visible from the outside and can affect what a buyer is willing to pay. A resale buyer should expect to receive the usage rights for the specific week and unit type you own, along with access to the RCI exchange affiliation if that's part of your membership — but not any loyalty perks, promotions, or bonus points tied personally to your account rather than to the week itself. Ask the resort directly about typical transfer processing times so you can give buyers a realistic expectation.

Practical Notes for Buyers & Renters

Renters researching Royal Regency are usually looking for a self-catering option close to Paris without big-resort pricing or amenities — the kitchenette and simple studio layout fit that brief well. If you're renting out your week rather than selling, be clear in your listing about unit size, whether it's a studio or a larger apartment-style suite, and what's included, since this resort is positioned as practical rather than luxury. Given its metro access and Val-de-Marne location, it tends to draw city-break travellers and families visiting the Bois de Vincennes and central Paris attractions rather than those seeking an on-site resort holiday.
