Museos > Château de Compiègne Museum

It is in 1751, under the reign of Louis XV, that this Imperial residence came to life. The Compiègne and the séries which Napoleon III and the Empress Eugénie organised, gathering together about a hundred guests from the court, date back to 1856. The castle houses a musum dedicated to the Second Empire, but also a National Museum of Cars and Motoring which assembles a significant collection of carriages and motor vehicles, from their origins up to the First World War.
