Senlis preserves one of the best-preserved Gallo-Roman walls in France, that of Augustomagus, from the 3rd century, and a centre of cobbled streets classified as a “remarkable heritage site”. Since 2016, a 6 km interpretation circuit, with totems and lecterns, runs through the historic centre and the districts.
What not to miss
The wall, the Parvis square with the cathedral, the 17th- and 18th-century mansions and the Saint-Frambourg chapel, with stained glass by Joan Miró. The full route takes about two hours; the central part, one.
With a guide
From April to October, the tourist office guides run town circuits, tours of the Gallo-Roman heritage and themed routes. Check the programme at the office, on the Place du Parvis Notre-Dame.
