At the tip of the fortified spur of Crépy-en-Valois, the former Saint-Arnoul priory (founded in the 10th century, which became a Benedictine abbey and then an important Cluniac priory in 1076) suffered heavy damage during the Hundred Years' War, particularly during the sack of 1434. Of the church, the necropolis of the Counts of Valois, the western wall of the crypt and that of the north aisle remain, revealing a remarkable Romanesque vocabulary (acanthus leaf capitals, Carolingian traditions). Enhanced since 1964, the complex still retains the 12th-century stoker's room, the superb chapter house and the eastern gallery of the cloister.

The architecture of the town hall is a true feast for the eyes. The central structure is dominated by a tall bell tower, flanked by two turrets connected by a decorative railing. This imposing façade, 47 meters high and 24 meters wide, is decorated with striking Gothic elements such as pinnacles and basket arches. The large niche now houses a high relief depicting the equestrian statue of Louis XII. It is an original creation from 1869 by the sculptor Henri-Alfred Jacquemart in the realistic style so prevalent at the time. However, contrary to the usual appearance of equestrian statues during the reign of Louis XII, Henri-Alfred Jacquemart chose not to build a horse walking "à l'amble," that is, with both straight legs raised simultaneously. On October 12, 1530, a clock was placed on the summit of the bell tower. From that time on, every quarter of an hour, she animated three wooden jaquemarts with bell hammers. The Compiègneis quickly gave them three nicknames corresponding to the enemies of the time: Langlois for the English, Flandrin for the Flemish, and Lansquenet for the Germans. Even today, they chant the life of the city by "punching the time," that is, by striking their hammer to strike the hours.

Anecdote: A bitter historical turning point occurred in 1940, when Adolf Hitler chose the exact same spot to sign the French surrender to Nazi Germany — in the same train car. He literally reenacted the 1918 scene, but with the roles reversed. Shortly afterwards, he had the car shipped to Berlin as a trophy. The site was partly destroyed, but was redeveloped as a memorial site after the war.

The Clairière de l'Armistice, or Armistice Place, is a clearing deep in the Compiègne Forest in northern France. It was here that the armistice ending World War I was signed on 11 November 1918. The signing took place in a railway carriage belonging to Marshal Foch, who had been brought to this remote location especially for discretion.

The Abbey of Notre-Dame and Saint-Jean-Baptiste of Saint-Jean-aux-Bois is located in the heart of the Compiègne forest, in the village of Saint-Jean-aux-Bois, in the Oise. It was founded in 1152 as an abbey of Benedictine nuns by Queen Adelaide of Savoy (widow of Louis VI). In 1220, the abbey was given a new Gothic-style church. The abbey church was transformed into a parish church in the 18th century. https://www.compiegne-pierrefonds.fr/sit/abbaye-forteresse-de-saint-jean-aux-bois/#:~:text=%C3%80%20propos,%C3%A9glise%20de%20style%20gothique https://www.eglisesdeloise.com/monument/saint-jean-aux-bois-abbaye-notre-dame-et-saint-jean-baptiste/
