A few weeks ago, Sarah and I took a leisurely day trip to Compiegne, a town about halfway between Saint-Quentin and Paris. After a relaxing lunch of mushroom omelets, fries, and salad, we wandered to the Chateau de Compiegne. The chateau is a Versailles-like palace that is wrapped up in Louis XVI and Napoleon history; it was very grand and beautiful, with large gardens to explore as well. The rest of our trip was taken up with wandering around the city's charming downtown and a stop at the Christmas market where we indulged in some freshly made churros.
