THE SALT STORE
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.
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.

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.

MEMORIAL TO INTERNMENT AND
THE DEPORTATION - ROYALLIEU CAMP
17
A residence designed by Louis XV, Compiègne was to become one of the most
important royal and court residences during the summer and autumn. Napoleon 1
added its dazzling decor and Napoleon III made it a favoured place where he
assembled a part of French and European society of the time. At Compiègne,
the sumptuous state rooms and galleries reveal the private lives of sovereigns
and their lovers, from Napoleon 1 and Marie-Louise to Napoleon III and the
elegant Eugénie.
Within the palace you can see:
• The Emperor and Empress's apartments, richly decorated and furnished,
remaining just as Napoleon 1 or Napoleon III wanted them.
• The museum of the Second Empire and of the Empress, collections of
surprising richness, moving reflections of a time that modernised France, in
particular in the area of the arts.
• The National Car Museum, taking
you into the fascinating history of
transport, via one of the most beautiful
collections of coaches and sedans of
the 18th century right up to the beginnings of the motor car adventure.
(times and conditions for visits on the
palaisdecompiegne.fr website).
When leaving the Château, take the Rue
d'Ulm which runs along the left side of the
Château to arrive at the Théâtre Impérial
des
Founded in the 9th century by the Emperor
Charles the Bald, the Saint-Corneille abbey
was the centre of Compiègne's history up to
the Revolution. The recently restored abbey
cloister is partly incorporated into the SaintCorneille library. The Saint-Corneille Cloister
museum located in the other galleries has a
superb collection of medieval and renaissance
religious sculptures from the collections in the
Antoine Vivenel Museum in Compiègne.
Go back to the Rue Saint-Corneille, go down the
Rue Jeanne d'Arc on the right as far as the Rue du
Grand Ferré.
ANTOINE VIVENEL STUDY AND EXHIBITION CENTRE

highlighting the Vivenel Museum's collections as well as a place dedicated to
the heritage trades with workshops open to the public.
When leaving, walk along the railing on your right to reach the Musée Vivenel.
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.

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.

Wandering along paths lined with old trees and ancient sculptures, breathe in
the scents of an English-style garden with its romantic charm. Created under
Napoleon 1, the park offers rich blooms in spring, a rose garden and poetic
autumn walks.
The spectacular four-kilometre perspective, the
so-called Beaux-Monts drive, is a starting point
for walks through one of the most beautiful forests
in France.
A tea room awaits you in the heart of the rose
garden in the summer season, for a break and
something to eat.
Leave the park by the same gate and return to the
Château by the right.
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.

The village and lake of Pierrefonds are dominated
