This hospital is currently the oldest preserved in northern France, its construction dating back to the mid-thirteenth century.
On the first floor, also called “salle des malades”, is the reception of the Tourist Office, with direct access to: all the information necessary for the discovery of Laon and its territory; a store area; the copy of the relief map of Laon dating from the 19th century; the starting point for guided tours.
In the basement – also called “salle des passants” – is the Bernard-de-Clairvaux Gothic room, now open to visitors, but also to rent (festivities, exhibitions, etc…).
These two spaces are normally accessible every day during the opening hours of the Tourist Office, except for the Gothic room if it is rented at that time…
