Le Trappist, brasserie in Laon’s upper town

A very French table, home cooking and Belgian beers: here is the house, its practical information and the town around it.

Very French, with a zest for life and good meat

Le Trappist is a bar-brasserie on place du Général-Leclerc, in the upper town of Laon. People meet here for lunch, for dinner on Friday or Saturday, or simply for a drink at the bar.

The spirit is that of the estaminet of northern France: generous dishes, maroilles cheese, blue Chimay right into the kitchen, and Belgian beers to discover.

Laon, the upper town perched on its hill

Laon’s upper town is perched on its hill, high above the plain. That is where Le Trappist welcomes you, on place du Général-Leclerc, before or after your visit.

Notre-Dame cathedral is one of the first great Gothic cathedrals, built from the middle of the 12th century. At the top of its towers, sculpted oxen pay tribute to the animals that hauled the stones up.

The ramparts and medieval gates complete the setting of this former capital of the Carolingian kings.
