Compiègne Royal Et Impérial : Le Palais De Compiègne Et Son Domaine

From the first construction of Charles V to the imperial residence of Napoleon III, this book traces the history of the palace of Compiègne and its domain. Much appreciated by the generations of sovereigns who have occupied it, the residence has undergone numerous alterations and modernizations throughout the reigns.

Small and large apartments, rooms, cabinets and salons decorated with shimmering fabrics, furnished with refined furniture and objets d'art, galleries, libraries and theaters, park and outbuildings are presented here throughout a richly illustrated and commented visit, shedding light on both the interior decor and the daily life that took place there.
