Beautiful Gothic cathedral which stands above the town. Laon is on a hill so the cathedral is very visible from miles away and is very imposing. Tourist office is also helpfully next door. More

Well worth a visit during a stroll around this lovely medieval city. Virtually untouched since it was built in the 12-13th centuries. It was practically deserted when we visited just before lunch on a Monday morning in May. Spend an hour or two just browsing and taking pictures.

You can see the silhouette of the Cathedral from miles around... It is imposing and very dramatic... It's well worth the drive up for a look. And the views from up there are breathtaking! More
