La Forêt impériale de Compiègne

Royal then imperial, Compiègne deploys a profusion of heritage around its castle, nestled in a majestic forest. This tour goes through the history of France: the clearing of the Armistice where the German surrender was signed in 1918, the Confrécourt quarry (graffiti by Poilus), the medieval castle of Cœuvres-et-Valsery... up to the fortress of Pierrefonds.
