Footbridge over the Aisne

Highlight • Bridge

Convenient walkway to go from the forest of Laigue, north of Rethondes, to the forest of Compiègne, or in the opposite direction. It also allows you to join the paths that run along the Aisne river on the south side.

Pierrefonds Castle

Highlight • Castle

Built in the 14th century, the Château de Pierrefonds was the seat of Duke Louis of Orléans. Then dismantled in the 17th century, Napoleon III decided to rebuild it from the ruins. It was the architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc who took care of the work to make it a medieval-style castle.

Pierrefonds Castle

Highlight • Castle

Pierrefonds Castle has many stories to tell. It was built towards the end of the 14th century by the Duke of Orléans. Dismantled in the 17th century and left in ruins for years, it was rebuilt on the orders of Napoleon III. The result is a castle with a medieval and defensive appearance.

Magnificent castle built in 1397, then reinvented in the 19th century. The view from the castle across the lake is superb.

Douye Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

The Château de la Douye in Béthisy-Saint-Pierre is a composite manor, formed by two buildings at right angles: one very simple, from the 17th century; the other contains the chapel with flamboyant windows and stained glass. At the intersection there is a 15th century stair turret. The Château de la Douye is surrounded by a large park and faces the two turrets that remain from the medieval castle of King John II the Good, who built the "Grand Hôtel" in 1344 and partially destroyed it during the Hundred Years' War. You can also admire the old mill on the Automne river, which crosses the territory of the commune.

The Saint Jean Oak

Highlight • Natural Monument

This presumed 750-800 year old oak tree is worth a visit. It is considered the oldest oak in the forest of Compiègne and in the department of Oise. We can only be respectful in front of this phenomenon of nature!
