France is full of stunning gothic cathedrals and you're spoilt for choice. However, this one has an excellent location and is an unmissable feature of the location landscape being positioned on a hill top in a relatively flat area. The cathedral doesn't appear to receive many English speaking visitors as almost all signs were in French (and there were many). Sadly, the inside (whilst possessing the soaring architecture of the Gothic style) is quite bland compared to others. However, you can still discern some of the original colour wall painting on the entrance to some side chapels and the wall behind the high altar. There are also some obviously medieval figurines on the wall but these are broken. The reliquary is worth a visit, if not just to see the collection of various saints body parts encased in fine metals. It certainly provided an insert into the medieval mind and a contrast to our own mindset. There does appear to be a 'face of Christ' object that is venerated separately, although I couldn't discern the history as all the text was in French. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

In middle of this rather unique medieval town centre overlooking the whole region, the cathedral has kept her century old soul and atmosphere.

If you visit Laon then this cathedral is a must. Beautiful architecture and stunning stained glass windows. The rose windows are always my favorites. One here is covered on the inside by the organ. A very peaceful place to visit. Would definitely visit again when in Laon next.
