Rue ChA?telaine, in the
ville haute
, has a good range of
boulangeries
and
fromageries
for assembling picnics. Simple
snacks
can be had at the
Le Parvis
, which overlooks the west front of the cathedral; at
CrA?perie Agora
, an inexpensive Breton place near the cathedral at 16 rue des Cordeliers (open until 1am; closed Sat lunch & Mon); or at the
Brasserie Chenizelles
, at no. 1 on rue du Bourg, the continuation of rue Chatelaine.
Restaurants
in Laon tend to be expensive:
La Petite Auberge
, the gourmets' favourite, at 45 bd Pierre-Brossolette in the
ville basse
near the station, falls into this category, serving traditional French cuisine using the freshest ingredients (menus from 129F/a?¬19.67). Next door, the
Saint-Amour
is more economical and still very good (menus from 75F/a?¬11.43).
There's usually something going on at the Maison des Arts on place Aubrey - including the annual ten-day international
film festival
in early April - and a concentration of events during the
Heures MA©diA©vales
festival in the first week of May.
Le Welcome
, next door to the arts complex, is an Irish-style
bar
and is a good place for just a drink. Other useful information
