    This obelisk was built in 1811 to commemorate the birth of the son of Napoleon I and Marie-Louise of Austria, made king of Rome by his father to challenge Pope Pius VII. Why here and by whom? We don't know. This tribute was perhaps paid to Napoleon for the revival of a healthy management of the forest of Halatte after a period of abandonment following the revolution of 1789. In any case, he met his future wife Marie-Louise d ' Austria, nearby, at the Château de Compiègne where he installed his son the King of Rome.

    Next to this obelisk, there is a bust of a woman carved in the rock!
