Tips from the Community
The Abbey of Prémontré, nestled west of Laon in the heart of a wooded and hilly environment, was founded in 1120 by Norbert of Xanten. Former mother abbey of the Order of Canons Regular of Prémontré, this historic site retains a peaceful atmosphere, away from the main roads.

This austere church, contemporary with the cathedral, is a fine example of 12th-century monastic architecture. With its two historiated side tympana, the façade is later, dating from around 1270. Inside, the 17th- and 18th-century woodwork and some elements of medieval funerary sculpture are noteworthy.

Unfortunately, there is no cycle path along the canal here yet. The path to the left before the bridge is a dead end.

This route was suggested in Komoot as a cycle path along the canal - but it is a dead end after the next lock.

*The church of Saint-Sulpice-et-Saint-Antoine1. In the cemetery, the tomb of the painter Maxime David. *War memorial. *The castle tower, near the multi-purpose hall, the only vestige of an old castle. *The forest. *The marshes, of a unique character in France: according to Natura 2000, this site is one of the richest and most diverse in the plains of Western Europe. Its exceptional character is reinforced by the variety of local climates (from boreal to hot mountain): even in summer, the temperature can be close to zero degrees. The floristic interest is great: an exceptional diversity linked to the presence of varied microclimates over a small area, with many protected species. From a faunal point of view, the site is home to many species of insects, birds, amphibians and reptiles.
