Hôtel des Gourneaux

Highlight • Historical Site

Residence of the Governor.
[Hôtel des Gourneaux] In this 15th century private mansion, the governor of the city was staying. From the 15th century, France was divided into twelve large provinces (Picardy, Brittany, Normandy, Provence...), roughly our current regions, but with simpler names. Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur is simply called Provence! The governor is the representative of the king. He ensures public order and respect for royal authority. The governor of Picardy, Guillaume de Flavy, was suspected of having betrayed Joan of Arc.

Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

Compiègne's town hall has been here since the 13th century, but the current building dates from the 16th century, erected under Louis XII, king of France. The building is in flamboyant Gothic style. It was badly damaged in 1792 but was later completely restored by Viollet-le-Duc, the somewhat controversial architect who also restored the Château de Pierrefonds. At the very top of the building, don't miss the three "picantins" who chime (sound) the hours. There is an Englishman, a German and a Fleming, all three enemies of France in the 16th century. ••• Question: what happened in 1792 for the statues on the facade to be destroyed? ••• Answer: in 1792 and 1793, under the impetus of the French Revolution, France endured Dechristianization. Masses are banned, priests are deported or killed, statues are destroyed...
