The square itself houses a statue of Joan of Arc, a tribute to the city's historical connection to this iconic figure. The Town Hall, with its rich history and stunning architecture, continues to captivate visitors, offering a glimpse into the past while remaining a vibrant part of Compiègne's present.

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.

The orientation table that previously existed and the wooden terrace have been removed. The trees have grown, making the view non-existent. Before, on a clear day, it was possible to make out the Eiffel Tower.

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 defy Pope Pius VII. Why here and by whom? We don't know anything about it. This tribute was perhaps paid to Napoleon for the relaunch of healthy management of the Halatte forest after a period of abandonment following the revolution of 1789. In any case, he met his future wife Marie-Louise d'Halatte. Austria, nearby, at the castle of Compiègne where he installed his son the king of Rome.
