Taxi Reims → Laon
Your Reims → Laon transfer at €95–€120. 50 km via the A26 to the medieval citadel.
A taxi between Reims and Laon costs between €95 and €120 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 50 kilometres and a journey time of from 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A26, with ~€4 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €155. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Laon is one of northern France's most spectacular towns, perched on a 100 m butte dominating the Picardy plain. Its fortified upper town, enclosed by 7 km of medieval ramparts and accessed by the Poma 2000 (France's only automatic funicular), houses exceptional heritage. Notre-Dame de Laon Cathedral (1155-1235) is one of France's first Gothic masterpieces, predating Notre-Dame de Paris — its five towers, with the famous sculpted oxen at the summit (honouring the oxen that hauled the stones), its sculpted portal and remarkably pure nave make it a landmark in art history. Hugo, Viollet-le-Duc and even the Chartres masters drew inspiration from it. The former Saint-Martin abbey, the episcopal palace (museum), the Hôtel-Dieu and the cobbled upper town lanes create a preserved medieval atmosphere. Laon is also the gateway to the Chemin des Dames, a Great War memorial site (1917), with the Dragon's Cavern and many military cemeteries.

Specific tips for the Reims → Laon route
The Notre-Dame Cathedral is an absolute must: its sculpted oxen atop the towers are unique in Europe. Climb the rampart walk (via tourist office, guided tour €7) for 360° plain views. The Poma 2000, an automatic funicular linking lower and upper town (free), is a unique French technical curiosity. Walk the 7 km ramparts to discover the fortified gates (Porte d'Ardon, Porte de Soissons). The Chemin des Dames is 20 min south: the Dragon's Cavern (underground museum, €8) is a poignant 1917 memorial.
