Welcome to Laon !

LAON, ancient capital of France, and city of future.

upper town

The Laonnois (Laon area), crossroad of Europe, is a land of complementarities where amenities of provincial life are well married with economic abilities and proximity of great ways of communication.

The website "Laonnois.com" is wanted to be the mirror of the variety and richness of the laonnois in every domain : cultural, social and economic, as well as of daily life or leasure activities.
