MEMORIAL TO INTERNMENT AND
THE DEPORTATION - ROYALLIEU CAMP
17
About 3 km from the town centre – 2 bis Avenue des Martyrs de la Liberté
A military barracks built in 1913 for the 54th Infantry Regiment, during the
Second World War, the Royallieu camp became Frontstalag 122, the main
German internment camp for the 45,000 unfortunates of all origins destined
to be deported by the Nazi dictatorship. Not far from the monument created
by the sculptor Muguet, since February 2008, three buildings of the former
camp house the memorial which, thanks to new audiovisual technologies,
bears witness to one of the worst tragedies of the 20th century.
Transformed and enlarged under Louis XVI, then developed by Napoleon I after
the revolution, the Palais de Compiègne experienced its hour of glory thanks
to Napoleon III. He welcomed the most important people in Europe during the
famous Series. Similarly to these prestigious guests, meet the crowned heads
who lived in Compiègne and share the Court's entertainments. Enter into the
sovereigns' private life with a visit to the imperial apartments, a splendid group
of First and Second Empire decors restored to their original state. Let yourself
be moved by the collections
from the Second Empire and
the Car Museums, without
equal in France.
When leaving the Château, take
the Rue d'Ulm which runs along
the left side of the Château to
arrive at the Théâtre Impérial
THE RAMPARTS
11
The oldest church in Compiègne (12th century),
behind its Roman doors, nowadays it offers a
fine area for art exhibitions and concerts.
To return to the town hall, continue along the Rue
des Minimes, then the Rue des Pâtissiers which is
a continuation of it.
IMPERIAL PALACE (National Museums)
14
SAINT-PIERRE-DESMINIMES CHURCH
16
Take advantage of a nature break by strolling
through the paths in the landscaped garden,
called the "remarkable garden". The Park,
designed by Gabriel, was laid out again under
Napoleon I by Berthault who made the MarieLouise's shady arbour there and marked out the
Beaux-Monts perspective (5 km). A collection
of about 30 marble sculptures, in a French
classic spirit, taking inspiration from antiquity,
can be discovered as you walk along. The
whole offers a harmonious and original
composition, the quality approaches for the
walkers and lovers of botany, history and art.
Leave the park by the same gate and return to the
Château by the right.
SAINT-JACQUES CHURCH (13th - 18th century)
10
THE IMPERIAL PALACE PARK
13
This 15th century timber-framed house
was then lived in by the Masters of
the Bridge who controlled the river
traffic during the 18th century.
Continue alone the Rue des Lombards
and turn left into the Rue des Cordeliers
which will take you to the Place SaintJacques.
The remains of the mediaeval bridge assumed to have been rebuilt in stone by
Saint Louis in the 13th century. It was protected on the town side by an
imposing gate, destroyed only in 1811, and on the Petit-Margny side by a fortified
structure in front of which Joan of Arc felt into the Burgundians' hands on
24 May 1430. This ancient bridge was demolished in 1735 after a new one
was built on the orders of Louis XV.
Cross the Rue d'Austerlitz, you are in the Parc de Songeons.

DEPORTATION CAR MEMORIAL
18
THE GREAT STABLES
12
THE SALT STORE
The great door with a pediment and bosses was
designed by the architect Cl. Nicolas Ledoux in 1784.
Continue along the Rue des Lombards, 50 metres farther on
on the right.
The Deportation Car Memorial, set in the station at Compiègne-Margny-lèsCompiègne, traces the Deportation by rail and is intended as a memorial to
the 45,000 prisoners, deported to the “death camps” from here, between
1942 and 1944, during the last World War. This is a supplement to the
“Royallieu” Transit Camp in Compiègne (n°17), and shows just how the
prisoners came here on foot guarded by the Nazi soldiers, and their living
conditions during the terrible train journey.
Two railway cars have been
restored to their original state,
true to the records of the time,
and silhouettes and a number of
films showing accounts by
former deportees can be seen
here.
IMPERIAL THEATRE
15
Built in 1738 by Gabriel for the royal and imperial horses, from 1876 the Great
Stables housed the Stud Farm administration's stallion registry.
Currently the headquarters of the French Horse and Riding Institute for
Picardy and the Nord Pas-de-Calais, stemming from the amalgamation of the
National Stud Farms and the National School - Cadre Noir de Saumur, a
project to open the Great Stables with the collections from the Musée de la
Voiture et du Tourisme harnessed team events.
When leaving on the left, you will
enter the Avenue de la Résistance
that you will take on the left onto an
enormous open space, you will see
the entrance to the Park in front of
you and the entrance to the Château
on the left.
This architectural jewel, whose construction started in 1867 at the request of
Napoleon III, was inaugurated in 1991 after lying dormant for a long time. The
Théâtre Impérial is exceptional for its capacity, and also for its acoustics, among
the best in the world. The only opera house in Picardy, the Théâtre shows
operas, musical shows, concerts,
ballets, etc.
Return as you came and in front of
you is the Rue des Minimes which
will take you to the Saint-Pierre-desMinimes church.
EDITION 2013
English
A jewel of the late Gothic art period, the
Hôtel de Ville was built between 1498 and
1530 and restored at the end of the 19th century.
Its façade is embellished with an equestrian
statue of Louis XII. At the top of the belfry which
holds the "Bancloque", one of the oldest
communal clocks in France, the 3 Picantins
(Langlois, Lansquenet and Flandrin) mark
the hours with their mallets.
In the annex to the right of the Town Hall.

The village and lake of Pierrefonds are dominated
by the massive silhouette of the famous château rebuilt
by Viollet-le-Duc for Napoleon III. It is evocative of
both Louis d’Orléans' old medieval fortress and the
19th century's taste for a reinvented Middle Ages.
