Time has stopped at SENLIS being marvellous ancient city that curiously escaped the industrial revolution and continues to live at the rhythm of the countryside.
The charm of Senlis is particularly due to its alleys, old edifices, a paradise for strollers and loiterers and you'll need at least a full day to discover all the hotels particuliers in the winding medieval streets, old Renaissance houses preceded by heavy wooden doors and porches, secret interior gardens, and walls eaten by ivy.
But Senlis is also a historical city who keeps on his grounds a lot of vestiges of the Gallo-roman and medieval period.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Beauvais
The Dioceses of Beauvais, Noyon, and Senlis having been suppressed by the Concordat of 1802 for the benefit of Amiens, a see was re-established at Beauvais in 1822, having within its jurisdiction the former Diocese of Beauvais and a large portion of the ancient Dioceses of Noyon and Senlis.
Being Count of Beauvais from 1013, and Peer of France from the twelfth century, the Bishop of Beauvais wore the royal mantle at the coronation of the Kings of France; it was he, who, with the Bishop of Langres, was wont to raise the king from his throne to present him to his people.
The medieval Cathedrals of Beauvais and Senlis are inferior in point of interest to that of Noyon, which is one of the most beautiful monuments of the twelfth century.

I think there is a small surburban rail line that stops in Senlis that is part of the RER system, but it does not go to/from Senlis, only Orry-la-Ville.
(I believe the Chantilly-to- Senlis bus may be operated by, or linked to the SNCF railroad company, and that may be contributing to the confusion.) At one point, the Paris region (RER) train authorities asked the folks in Senlis if they'd like the line to be extended to their town.
The train station to Senlis bus (and vice versa) has a stop on the main drag of Chantilly, by the church, that isn't far from the chateau, so if you're going to the chateau after Senlis, tell the driver that, and ask him to let you off there.

Established by the Drug Policy Fund of the Network of European Foundations in May 2002 at Senlis, France, the council serves as an international collaborative framework for gathering expertise and generating new initiatives on drug policy.
The Senlis Council targets high-level policy-makers at the national and intergovernmental level to adopt new ideas on drug policy.
