Review of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Laon

Most visitors head to this cathedral with the carved oxen on its facade. Having escaped World War I unharmed, it inhabits the spot where an ancient basilica stood until it burned in 1111. The structure has six towers, four of which are complete. Inside are stained-glass panels dating from the 13th century, and an 18th-century choir grille. Tours (available in French only) are conducted from Easter to October on Saturday and Sunday at 3pm (arrange through the tourist office).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
