Cycle path along the Oise river

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Part of the wonderfully quiet and completely car-free cycle path along the L'Oise river to and from Compiegne. The perfect way to cycle through the peaceful nature without too many altimeters.

Saint-Jacques Church of Compiègne

Highlight • Religious Site

The 12th century Saint-Jacques Church has many figural decorations that refer to its namesake, the Apostle James, and to the pilgrimage tradition of the Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela. The 15th century church tower was extended in the 17th century, and statues of 14 saints were placed in its upper section. Its role as a royal church in the immediate vicinity of the castle led to extensive reconstruction in the 18th century and lavish furnishings. Since 1998, the church has been designated as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Way of St. James in France".

Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

Compiègne's town hall has been here since the 13th century, but the current building dates from the 16th century, erected under Louis XII, king of France. The building is in flamboyant Gothic style. It was badly damaged in 1792 but was later completely restored by Viollet-le-Duc, the somewhat controversial architect who also restored the Château de Pierrefonds. At the very top of the building, don't miss the three "picantins" who chime (sound) the hours. There is an Englishman, a German and a Fleming, all three enemies of France in the 16th century. ••• Question: what happened in 1792 for the statues on the facade to be destroyed? ••• Answer: in 1792 and 1793, under the impetus of the French Revolution, France endured Dechristianization. Masses are banned, priests are deported or killed, statues are destroyed...

Compiègne Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

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.
