LAON, ancient capital of France, and city of
future.

The Laonnois (Laon area), crossroad of Europe, is a land of complementarities where amenities of
provincial life are well married with economic abilities and proximity of great ways of
communication.
The website "Laonnois.com" is
wanted to be the mirror of the variety and richness of the laonnois in every domain :
cultural, social and economic, as well as of daily life or leasure activities.

The laonnois
inhabitants, like tourists or professional people will find here all kinds of knowledges
and addresses ; collectivities and associations, too, have their place here.
This website will stay alive with your
help. To place here the calendar
of your village feasts, or the events organized by your association, contact the
webmaster.
This site is a site of services. It comes
from no party nor coterie. It is owned by Bernard Croza, who created and maintains it.

TO READ !
The
Gabrielle Piquet's book
(in French) |
 |
Laon,
1999. Basile, born from a short union between the young Juliette
and an American airman quickly gone back to his country, spends
his time in his paintshop. What does he paint? The streets and
skyscrapers of New York. Obsessed with this father whom he never
knew, Basile developped a real passion for the United States.
One day, the mayor tells him that the Americans are coming back
for a commemoration and he proposes him to show his paintings...
For this book, Gabrielle Piquet got the "International 2010
Prize of the City of Geneva for cartoon".
