Description

We love our climbs in Laon! Especially as they're now more of a leisure pursuit, even if some of them can make you sweat a bit and pull on your calves (but it's good for your health ;-))!

What's more, following them often feels like plunging into a labyrinth of paths, some with very similar names.
Take this route, for example: you'll successively take the Ruelle de la Vieille Montagne, before the Ruelle de la Montagne, and finally end up in Rue de la Vieille Montagne: you've got to admit it can be quite confusing, don't you?

Come on, let's set off on this short tour - I promise, it'll only take you about 1/2 an hour, which you can do during your lunch break in the Porte de Soissons square - in the west of the upper town of Laon!

Soissons Fortified Gate and Leaning Tower

The Porte de Soissons (also known as Soibert) closed one of the main entrances to the west of the medieval town. Built around 1200, and despite its deterioration, it remains a fine example of medieval military architecture. Just below it is Laon's "Tower of Pisa", the Tour de Dame Eve, a corner and flanking tower of the medieval rampart. A landslide of its base due to the clay soil gives it its distinctive appearance...

Fountain at Porte Saint-Martin

Now a utilitarian structure, located below the Porte de Soissons and recently restored, this ashlar structure, decorated with a pediment and lion-head spillway, was already visible in the 18th century... Today it marks the entrance to the Chemin des Creutes.

Hot spot for photographing the cathedral!

One of the most popular places to capture your view of Laon and its cathedral: at this point on the Saint-Vincent plateau, a gap in the trees allows you to take in both the Saint-Vincent vat in the foreground and the cathedral perched on its hill - a must!
