Places to go
Compiègne, located 70 km north of Paris, is a historic royal and
imperial city surrounded by one of France's largest forests. Visitors can explore the charming historic city
center, the palace, and museums.
Nearby attractions include the Armistice Clearing in Rethondes, the medieval Pierrefonds Castle, and the
Château de Chantilly . For nature enthusiasts, the surrounding forest offers excellent hiking and
cycling opportunities.
Compiègne has played a significant role in French history due to its strategic location. It hosted
French monarchs from the Middle Ages to Napoleon III and was a center of power and relaxation. Notable
historical events include the capture of Joan of Arc in 1430, the signing of the World War I armistice in
1918, and the signing of the World War II armistice in 1940.
Today, landmarks such as the Joan of Arc Tower, the Town Hall, Saint-Corneille Abbey, and the palace highlight
the city's rich history. The Armistice Clearing and the Memorial of Internment and Deportation at Royallieu
camp serve as reminders of Compiègne's involvement in both world wars.
The local tourism office website can help you
plan your stay, and the Navaway app will guide you
through the history of Compiègne during your walks in the city center.
