Laon was the capital of France during merovingian part of history. So there are many ancient places to visit.

Historicaly, Reims is the city where french kings was crowned.
Also, Jeanne d’Arc came there to free Reims to crown Charles VII. Then in early june there are “Les fêtes Johaniques” witch celebrate this event.
There is also a Jazz festival and a classical one.

About WWII, Reims is where the germans sign the surrender act at may 7th 1945 and a little museum in a high school (Lycée Roosevelt) can be visited.

After all that, there are champagne wine and the famous smiling angel on the cathedral.

I went there to visit some friends of my ex-girlfriend and pass a few days in the medieval events that occur every year.

I saw the belfry and his famous dragon, I discovered Lindemans fruit tasted beers and I fell in love with all the belgian people.

What can I say about Liège ?

That’s where my little sister went to study. There is a great belgian university where vets are formed. So, if you want to go there, be sure to have a student to guide you. The ancient square (le carré) is the place to be if you want to have some party. A good beer is served with a cheap price.

What else about Liège ?

Let’s go there at august 15th. In a quarter called Outre-Meuse, there is a great procession with giants. Don’t miss the taste of the “Zizi-coincoin” or of the “Péquet”. And most of all, don’t leave Liège before you eat a local waffle. They’re just unbelivable.
