Just outside Compiègne, Jaux is a discreet and welcoming village where history and nature quietly shape the landscape. 

Best known for its proximity to major heritage sites, Jaux sits at the edge of the Forest of Compiègne, one of northern France’s largest woodlands, ideal for walking, cycling, and forest escapes. The village offers a peaceful rural atmosphere while lying minutes from the Château de Compiègne, a former royal and imperial residence rich in art and history. Nearby, the Oise River and the Armistice clearing of Rethondes add depth and emotion to the surroundings. Jaux is a perfect base for travelers seeking calm countryside, memory-filled landmarks, and green horizons in Hauts-de-France.
