The map
About this Compiègne map poster
Compiègne sits on the left bank of the Oise, just downstream of the point where the Aisne joins it, north-east of Paris. From above, the historic centre is a tight web of streets around the town hall and the château, while the long, straight avenues of the palace park run out toward the Forest of Compiègne, one of the largest forests in France.
Two episodes made the name widely known. Joan of Arc was captured outside the town walls in 1430, and in November 1918 the armistice ending the First World War was signed in a railway carriage in a clearing of the forest. The same clearing was used again in 1940, and the site is now marked as the Glade of the Armistice.
A Compiègne map poster works well because of the contrast between town and woodland. The river cuts a clean curve along one side, the old centre forms a dense core, and the forest's straight rides and star-shaped crossings create geometric patterns that look almost drawn by hand when the map is framed wide enough to include them.

Château and park
The palace stands at the edge of the historic centre, and its park opens onto a long, straight avenue that pushes several kilometres into the forest as a single ruled line.
Forest rides
The Forest of Compiègne is crossed by straight hunting rides laid out centuries ago, meeting at star-shaped crossroads that give the map an unusually formal geometry.

Why Compiègne
A map that means something
Compiègne appeals to people who studied at its university of technology, who have walked or cycled in its forest, or who are drawn to the history of 1918. As a map it is both elegant and legible, with enough structure in the river and forest to hold a large wall.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line with a date, a name or a line of your own, and choose between Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Printed posters ship from partners in more than 30 countries, with an optional wooden frame.
