About Senlis

Senlis is one of the most perfectly preserved and least-known medieval cities in the Île-de-France — a small, compact city of 15,000 inhabitants whose remarkably intact old town, enclosed within its ancient Roman and medieval walls, contains a cathedral, royal château ruins, Roman arenas and an extraordinary density of medieval architecture all within walking distance of each other. Senlis was an important royal city in the early medieval period — Hugues Capet was elected King of France here in 987, effectively founding the Capetian dynasty that ruled France for over three centuries — and the royal château was a favoured residence of the French kings from the Capetians through the Valois.

The Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Senlis (1153–1191) is one of the earliest Gothic cathedrals in France — begun just a decade after Saint-Denis and 10 years before Notre-Dame de Paris, its west façade's trumeau sculpture of the Virgin and Child (c.1170) is one of the earliest monumental Gothic sculptures in France and was widely imitated across northern France. The Cathedral's spire (14th century, 78m) is one of the most elegant Gothic spires in the Île-de-France. The Gallo-Roman amphitheatre (2nd century CE), partially preserved within the old town, the Musée de la Vénerie (dedicated to the French hunting tradition, housed in the old royal château ruins) and the remarkably atmospheric medieval lanes make Senlis an exceptional half-day or full-day excursion.

Important Transfer Information

One of France's Earliest Gothic Cathedrals: Senlis Cathedral (begun 1153) is among the very first Gothic cathedrals in France — its construction preceded Notre-Dame de Paris by a decade and pioneered the structural and decorative vocabulary that would define French Gothic for the following century. The west façade's Dormition and Coronation of the Virgin tympanum (1170) is one of the most important Marian sculptural programmes of the early Gothic period.

Foundation of the Capetian Dynasty: Senlis is where the Capetian dynasty — which ruled France from 987 to 1328 and whose descendants (in the Valois and Bourbon lines) continued until the Revolution — was effectively founded. The election of Hugues Capet as King of France in Senlis in 987, breaking with the Carolingian tradition, established the dynasty whose direct descendants are still claimed by French royalists today.

Compact Walking City: Senlis's entirely walkable historic centre — the Roman walls, the cathedral, the château ruins and the medieval lanes all within 500 metres of each other — makes it one of the most rewarding compact medieval heritage destinations near Paris. Our transfer delivers you directly to the old town centre.
