On the wall



The map
Senlis has one of the clearest outlines of any small town in northern France. Seen from above, the historic centre is an almost oval enclosure traced by its old ramparts, with narrow streets packed inside. Around that core are boulevards, later quarters and then the large forests of Halatte and Chantilly, which give the whole area a dark green frame on a map.
In the middle of the oval stands the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, one of the early Gothic cathedrals of France. The streets around it are short, winding and closely built, while traces of the Gallo-Roman wall still show up in the curves of the inner lanes. The small river Nonette runs along the southern side, and its channels break the tight grid into softer lines.
Senlis was a royal town for centuries, and in 987 Hugh Capet was chosen king here, so it is often linked with the start of the Capetian dynasty. A Senlis map poster turns this history into shape: a walled oval, a cathedral square at its heart and a ring of forest on every side.
The ramparts and boulevards form a near-oval outline around the historic centre, one of the most readable medieval town shapes in the Paris region.
Narrow streets gather around Notre-Dame de Senlis, making a small, dense centre of irregular blocks and short connecting lanes.
The forests of Halatte and Chantilly spread across the land around the town, leaving wide open spaces broken only by straight hunting rides and roads.

Why Senlis
Senlis suits a wall well because its outline is so complete: a fortified oval with a cathedral in the middle, framed by forest. It is a fine choice for anyone who lives there, married there or spends weekends walking the nearby woods.
