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.
