Château de Compiègne
Place du Général de Gaulle, 60200 Compiègne
History, art and dream: a surprising castle at the gates of Paris.
House designed for Louis XV, residence of Napoleon I, setting of imperial series under Napoleon III: the Château de Compiègne makes you enter in the magic of the recovered time. Succumb to the charm: delicacy of the tremière roses at the Salon des jeux de la Reine or grenadiers brought from Spain by Eugenie, red and gold from Marie-Louise’s room, sumptuous echoes of the immense ballroom wanted by Napoleon I… King or Emperor, Queen or Empress, each left his mark. More than a castle, Compiègne is a love encounter, a shared emotion.
