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.

The remains of a Gallo-Roman temple dedicated to healing and built by a Gallic tribe, the Sulbanectes, in the middle of the 1st century AD. You can admire the ex-votos, coins, vases and fibulae discovered during excavations at the Senlis art and archeology museum. The temple is hidden in the bushes, so you have to follow a forest path to reach it. It is a unique and fascinating site that will take you back in time.
