02000 - LAON

Encircled by some 4 miles of ramparts, this city of Art and History has over 80 listed historic monuments. The jewel in the crown is the magnificent Gothic cathedral atop the hill on which the city is built. From the top of the towers, enjoy the view of the surrounding countryside and the charm of the old town.



Fun for all the family :

The Powder store mystery
You thought you were just visiting the underground passages. Wrong. A demonic voice startles you and strange phenomena start to occur. It all starts to get strange! To undo the spell cast by Dieudonné, warden of the citadel and find you way out, you will have to show plenty of guile.



Events :

The Euromédiévales – June
The Euromédiévales are a popular festive occasion based on Laon’s medieval heritage. Check out the traditional medieval market, the camps, a small farm with ponies, geese, birds of prey and horses. Short plays, juggling and Celtic music add to the entertainment!
