With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Compiegne, 18 miles away, has to offer. Compiegne Forest should be high up on your list here. Compiegne Golf Club and Compiegne Hotel de Ville are interesting attractions too. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Saint-Quentin, 18 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Saint Quentin Basilica. (But we’d also recommend Village of Métiers d’Antan & Motobécane Museum and Park d’Isle.)
