Château du Francport, Historic château in Choisy-au-Bac, France.
The 19th-century stone château stands by the Forest of Compiègne, featuring traditional French architectural elements with tall windows and symmetrical design.
During World War I in November 1918, the château served as accommodation for German emissaries during the Armistice negotiations at Compiègne Forest.
The château represents regional architectural traditions of Hauts-de-France, influencing local artistic expressions and community gatherings throughout generations.
Access to Château du Francport requires advance planning, as the property maintains restricted visiting hours and specific entrance protocols.
Two photographs from 1899 by Count Olympe Aguado document the château's architectural features, now preserved in the J. Paul Getty Museum.
