Laon
Recommended
Perched on a rock 100m high, presided over by its cathedral's towers, Laon is fittingly nicknamed the "Crowned Mountain". The medieval town has many surprises in store, including underground passages and spruce, bustling streets, a famous cathedral, a hotel with a watch-turret, a gate, an old hostelry, a Templar's chapel and narrow streets that lead up to ramparts overlooking the sweeping horizon.
