 Compiegne 2004
Our venue this year is again the small, typically French town of Compiegne situated on the river Oise 45 miles northeast of Paris.
Compiegne has its own Royal Palace used by the ‘French Royals’ of yesteryear as a retreat from Paris, and is set on the edge of the Forest of Compiegne.
Paris is 45 minutes away by train and Compiegne itself has some wonderful shops and cafes, as well as its fair share of ‘tourist attractions’ — the Royal Palace being just one.

 SparkNotes: Joan of Arc: Battle at Compiegne
Thus, she left Charles's side to fight the Burgundian forces at the ill-fated Battle of Compiegne.
But the people of Compiegne had refused to give up and be ruled by Burgundy; thus Joan wasn't the one who had disobeyed orders; she had merely aided a town that, out of loyalty to the king and France, was unwilling to abide by Charles's wishes.
This showed that, although an extremely valuable asset to the French military in terms of her ability to boost morale, as a lone commander she was not militarily gifted–or even all that militarily competent.

 First World War.com - Feature Articles - The Armistice
This was overcome by German Chancellor Max von Baden's exasperated decision to announce the reluctant Wilhelm's abdication to the public on 9 November 1918 (subsequently made official by the Kaiser's abdication proclamation on 28 November).
On 8 November a German delegation met with Allied Supreme Commander Ferdinand Foch - who was to lead the military negotiations - in the forest of Compiegne, some 65 km north-east of Paris.
The armistice was formally signed in Foch's railway carriage on 11 November (in 1940 Hitler exacted revenge by forcing the French to sign an armistice - on German terms - in the same railway carriage).
