Founded in 1139 on the site of an older community of secular canons, the abbey is named after Saint Léger of Autun. The Gothic cloister and Romanesque crypt are well preserved. Today, the complex houses the Musée municipal de Soissons and is a major heritage site in the city centre.

This national cemetery, founded in 1923, is the largest in the Aisne department. It contains the remains of 10,601 French soldiers who died during the First World War, 3,076 of whom are in ossuaries. Most of them died in the fierce fighting south-west of Soissons. It also contains 555 French soldiers from the Second World War and 76 civilian victims, mainly from Soissons. Noteworthy are the graves of soldiers executed during the First World War, including the six from Vingré. A Danish volunteer from the Foreign Legion is also buried here – a rarity in a French military necropolis. Situated on the edge of the Bois Roger, the site covers 36,400 m². It is an impressive and serene place of remembrance, with rows of white crosses bearing witness to the human sacrifice of the Great War.

Romanesque church from the 11th century with a rare flat closed choir. Contains sober sculptures and 13th century ribbed vaults. A well-preserved example of early medieval architecture in the Soissonnais.
