This beautiful cathedral has a summer 22.00 light and music show for around 35 minutes The transformation on the cathedral facade is exceptional and extremely well performed. I would definitely recommend this free show

Abbaye Saint-Jean-des-Vignes

Reviewed By Buttonbear - Banchory, United Kingdom

I walked around the ruins briefly whilst in Soissons on business. It was 9am on a chilly January morning, and I was the only tourist on the site but the informative plaques were helpful. I would return in season in order to visit the full site.

Cathedrale Saint-Pierre

Reviewed By 305carab - San Antonio, United States

The cathedral is a gorgeous example of beautiful gothic architecture...the stain glass alone makes the cathedral worth a visit. Make sure to do a lap around the outside of the cathedral as well, there’s some really neat old timey buildings and homes around the backside! It looks like the cathedral is undergoing some renovations on the inside and along the outside a bit as well, so just a heads up on that. But definitely recommend.

Chateau-Thierry Monument

Reviewed By romcgee

While the monument is impressive, the visitor center/museum is the treasure on this stop. It provides excellent descriptions of what happened in this area during the Great War. Plan at least an hour in the visitors center.
