National Museum of Antiquities / Carriage Museum Description

(Local Name: Clairière et Wagon de l'Armistice) The armistice which ended World War I was signed on November 11, 1918 in a railroad carriage in the Forest of Compiègne, and a reproduction of the original carriage can still be seen there. The château, a plain classical-style building erected by Jacques-Ange Gabriel in 1751-1788 for Louis XV, now houses the National Museum of Antiquities and a Carriage Museum.
