Laon Cathedral, France
. . . THIS MAY TAKE A MOMENT OR TWO . . .
The choir area. Laon is not a particularly large cathedral, nor does it portray the pinnacle of gothic style (though it was used as a model for Reims). It is, however, the episcopal seat of Premontre, and as such would have been known by St. Norbert. |

Laon is a charming city set upon a hilltop. Here is one of several city gates and the upper city wall. |
