Via Francigena circuit in Laon

The Via Francigena, meaning ‘Way of the Franks’, is an ancient medieval pilgrimage route linking Canterbury (Great Britain) to Rome (Italy).  Like the Way of St James, it was one of the main routes taken by Christian pilgrims to reach one of the three major pilgrimage centres. It stretches for nearly 2,000 kilometres, crossing four countries: Great Britain, France, Switzerland and Italy. The route is now recognised as a cultural itinerary by the Council of Europe.  Although there is no single, uniform signage (unlike the famous scallop shell), the route is marked differently in each country (in France, for example, it is identified as the GR® 145). The history of the Via Francigena is closely linked to the journey of Sigeric, Archbishop of Canterbury. In 990, he undertook a return journey from Rome after receiving the pallium (a band of white woolen cloth) from Pope John XV. He meticulously documented his itinerary, noting the 79 stages of his journey in a journal, which has become the historical reference for the Via Francigena. From the Middle Ages onwards, this route became an essential trade and military road, but also a major pilgrimage route, particularly around 1300, when the first Holy Years were proclaimed. The Via Francigena is a testament to the cultural unity of medieval Europe. After a period of decline from the 17th century onwards, it has been rediscovered in modern times and has now become a popular destination for pilgrims and hikers in search of adventure, spirituality, or simply slow tourism and nature (the route offers a variety of landscapes, from the green hills of Kent to the Swiss Alps, passing through the plains and historic villages of France and Switzerland, to the Tuscan landscapes and the Po Valley in Italy).  We invite you to explore the section of the route that passes through Laon before reaching Bruyères-et-Montébrault. So grab your walking sticks and shoes, and let's get going!

Saint Didier Church

Saint Didier Church

Listed as a Historical Monument, the Baroque style Saint-Didier church of Asfeld is the strangest church in Champagne-Ardenne and even in France. It was built at the end of the 17th century on the site of the old church of the village according to the will of the Earl of Avaux Jean-Jacques III of Mesmes. Extravagantly shaped, designed by two talented architects: the Dominican Brother François Romain and Fleury, an architect who lived on the spot. The structural work was completed in 1683. The church was finished, received and blessed in 1685. The plan is quite original since it was imagined in the form of a viola da gamba. Entirely built in bricks, its architecture with colonnades, domes and cupolas is really bold. None of the walls of the building follows a straight line. The church has 138 pillars and columns, a length of 44.82 meters and an outer perimeter of 145 meters. The church also has a 7-stops organ built around 1900 by Clovis Renault. Open every day from 9am to 7pm | Audio guides available in French, English, Dutch and German | Commented visits by appointment INTERPRETATION TRAIL Take a journey back in time to discover the village of Asfeld in the 17th century!
