Château du Francport

Château du Francport, Historic château in Choisy-au-Bac, France.

Château du Francport is a 19th-century stately home located near the Forest of Compiègne and displays traditional French architectural elements. The building features tall windows and a symmetrical facade that are characteristic of its style.

This stately home was built in the 19th century and later served during World War I in November 1918 as lodging for German representatives during the Armistice negotiations. It was thus a place of strategic importance during one of history's most pivotal moments.

The château's name survives in its later use: by 2014 the property, owned by Terres de Kéops, operated as a restaurant called the Château des Bonshommes. The building stands in Choisy-au-Bac, beside the Forest of Compiègne where the November 1918 Armistice was negotiated. A photograph of the château by Count Olympe Aguado is held by the J. Paul Getty Museum.

The château stands in Choisy-au-Bac, near the Forest of Compiègne, where the November 1918 Armistice negotiations took place. A hotel conversion by Anglo-French Hotel Management Limited fell through in 2009, and by 2014 the building was run as a restaurant called the Château des Bonshommes. Check current access before travelling, since the building's use has changed more than once.

A photograph of the château by Count Olympe Aguado is held at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. In November 1918, according to photographer Edward O. Haars of the War Department, German emissaries were housed here during the Armistice negotiations in the Forest of Compiègne.
