Bathed by a river and bordered by a forest, Compiègne is a source of legends and mysteries. This city occupies a special place in the history of France and Europe. From the heights of Margny or Mont Ganelon, take in its monuments, its shapes, its motion.

Its age-old festivals, like the “Series” during the empire, the hound hunts under royalty, or the lively and colourful current parades, remind us that Compiègne has always projected itself into its future with joyous abandon.
