The square itself houses a statue of Joan of Arc, a tribute to the city's historical connection to this iconic figure. The Town Hall, with its rich history and stunning architecture, continues to captivate visitors, offering a glimpse into the past while remaining a vibrant part of Compiègne's present.

The architecture of the town hall is a true feast for the eyes. The central structure is dominated by a tall bell tower, flanked by two turrets connected by a decorative railing. This imposing façade, 47 meters high and 24 meters wide, is decorated with striking Gothic elements such as pinnacles and basket arches. The large niche now houses a high relief depicting the equestrian statue of Louis XII. It is an original creation from 1869 by the sculptor Henri-Alfred Jacquemart in the realistic style so prevalent at the time. However, contrary to the usual appearance of equestrian statues during the reign of Louis XII, Henri-Alfred Jacquemart chose not to build a horse walking "à l'amble," that is, with both straight legs raised simultaneously. On October 12, 1530, a clock was placed on the summit of the bell tower. From that time on, every quarter of an hour, she animated three wooden jaquemarts with bell hammers. The Compiègneis quickly gave them three nicknames corresponding to the enemies of the time: Langlois for the English, Flandrin for the Flemish, and Lansquenet for the Germans. Even today, they chant the life of the city by "punching the time," that is, by striking their hammer to strike the hours.

Beautiful undulating car-free road through the forests north of Compiegne. Along the way you will encounter several characteristic signposts that indicate the local unpaved paths. As a cyclist, however, you better stay on this path, the only paved passage. Recommended!

The picture shows the Notre Dame Church. The first Notre Dame Church was destroyed by Spanish occupiers in 1557. The second Notre Dame Church was destroyed during the 1789 Revolution. In 1917, the entire town of Chauny, including Notre Dame, was blown up during the retreating German army. The town was rebuilt from 1920 to 1930. Notre Dame was completed in 1930.
