ze , by Frimiei,of Louis of Orleans, the founder of the castle. The ground-floor on thisside was once occupied by the soldiery. We next visit the first floor of the building to the left, which con-tains a spacious hall (57 by 10/2 yds.), adorned with a double chimney-piece with statues of nine heroines of mediaeval romance. At the oppo-site end are statues of Turpin, Roland, Charlemagne, Oliver, and others. The vaults and dungeons of the castle are not shown. The traveller may now visit the grounds of the bath-establish-ment, to the left of the lake, the church, and the pleasant country-seat of M. Sabatier, with its well-kept hot-houses (fee). In returning to Compiegne we choose the route via St. Pierre,with its ruined church, and Vieux Moulin. Near the latter is*Mont St. Mare, with six different points of view, with notices in-dicating the places visible from each. The whole walk back toCompiegne by this route will take 5-6 hrs. ^^—^^^B^ rt -^ N ^J t) M -H — M M M ^ H M •) M cJ
