The historically significant city has many medieval buildings, including the famous Laon Cathedral. With the historic fortified old town on a table mountain, Laon has the largest contiguous protected area in France.

Laon was already a Gallic fortress in the 5th century. Further information e.g. here: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laon

Laon, at least the old town, is built on a hill. There are some points from which a beautiful vision is recognizable.
