The historic town of Senlis has been around since Roman times and is one of the most significant must-see French towns for anyone interested in history and architecture. The town was originally named Augustomagus Sulbanectium by the Romans and is literally bursting at the seams with historic buildings and relics – you can walk around the ancient city walls and admire some of the 16 remaining lookout towers and see the semi-excavated arena where gladiators once fought wild animals.

You can visit the Museum of Art and Archaeology, the Hunting Museum, and the Spahis Museum or simply stroll along the cobbled streets absorbing the atmosphere – the well-preserved historic town center is frequently used as a movie set.
