Yes, thank you for the info bevpuzzler8. I will add that after it was one of Napoleon I favourite residence, it became the château of his nephew, Napoleon III who used it as a weekend and summer home. His wife, empress Eugénie must have been very popular because in the Compiègne area many places bear her name. My son for example lives "route Eugénie"!
The Château de Compiègne is a French chateau, a royal residence built for Louis XV and restored by Napoleon. Compiègne was one of three seats of royal government, the others being Versailles and Fontainebleau. It is located in Compiègne in the Oise department and is open to the public. thank you for this ....there is more to read about this beautiful place on Wiki.
Yes Nicole, it's grand! The whole huge château is filled with fantastic furniture. I visited it again two weeks ago as I live nearby and I'll post some more pictures of it soon.
