Senlis Attractions
The old-world little town of Senlis (pop. 16,314), northeast of Paris, was the see of a bishop from the third century until 1790. On the northeast side of the old town is the imposing former cathedral of Notre-Dame (1153-1184), with a richly carved main doorway and a beautiful interior. Near the church are remains of the town's Gallo-Roman walls and of a medieval castle (hunting museum). On the western outskirts of the town are the remains of a Roman amphitheater.
Musée de la Vénerie
The Hunting Museum, established in 1934, is housed in a former priory. The majority of the displays celebrate hunting through paintings. Other exhibits at the Hunting Museum include weapons, costumes, hunting horns and trophies.
