The hotel, which displays the sign 'The Banner of France' was established in 1685 by Catherine Barre. In 1700, the Hotel la Banniere was the site of a fight in which the Chevalier d'Espinoy was killed. The novelist Jules Husson, known as Champfleury, located the hero of his novel at the Hotel la Banniere. Jean Berton sold la Banniere on 22 March 1745, for 6,284 livres, to Philbert Regnault, a master chef, who left it to his widow, Marie-Louise Boitelle, and his son, Charles-Philbert Regnault, a town hall counsellor and clothing and haberdashery merchant. Around 1830 the Saint-Quentin mail-coach left daily from Boudinot's Hotel de la Banniere at four in the afternoon, arriving in Saint-Quentin at ten in the evening. From 1926 to 1961 the Thiebaut family ran the hotel and, with the installation of the town's first film-projector, the banquet room became a most important place in the life of Laon. In 1967, Paul and Lieselotte Lefevre, trained at the hospitality school at Lausanne, Switzerland, took over the management of the hotel, modernising it and improving the quality of its service. Soon its restaurant once again became well known throughout the region. Since the death of Paul Lefevre in 1990 his wife has continued their work and has committed herself to continuing the business. Through the years the Hotel de la Banniere de France has welcomed many celebrities who have contributed to the reputation of the three hundred year-old institution. These celebrities include Marcel Pagnol, Charles Trenet, Queen Marie-Josee of Italy, King Leopold of Belgium, Line Renaud, Claude Pieplu, Raymond Devos, Michel Bouquet and Lambert Wilson. Today, the hotel is continuing its history into the third millennium.

On the summit of its mountain, the royal town of the Carolingians looms up like a Mont-Saint-Michel, with its eighty classified buildings dominating the plains of Picardy. On its bluff, the Cathedral of Notre Dame, towering one hundred metres, seems to float between heaven and earth. Visitors wandering along the cobblestone streets and the seven kilometres of ramparts, the cathedral, abbeys, religious shelters, bourgeois houses, and private residences will discover the art and history of France. The relatively unknown treasures of Laon are witness to the glories of an era: the cathedral is one of the oldest Gothic style cathedral in France. At the other end of the town, the abbey of Saint-Martin, of the order of Premontre, challenges the 'star' status of the cathedral. Less grandiose, the church has great charm with its fourteenth-century facade, cloister (of which the stairway is a real technical masterpiece), seventeenth-century abbots' residence of brick and stone, and a charming ornamental pavilion. As if by chance, the narrow alleys, the ramparts and the stones themselves tell their history: the Rue du Cloitre with the cannons' residences to the right, the commoners' to the left; the Rue Georges-Ermant, with its charming Templars chapel which houses a most unusual tomb, the famous mummified body of Guillaume de Harcigny, the doctor of Charles VI and, next door, the local museum, of which the plain nineteenth-century facade hides a most important collection of Greek antiquities; the Rue Vinchon with its religious refuges; the south rampart with the Porte d'Ardon, a little drinking trough for animals at its feet; in the distance the Abbey of Saint-Vincent which bears witness to a famous wine-growing past; and the Rue du Change, with its Hotel du Dauphin and its curious covered balcony made of wood. Victor Hugo wrote enthusiastically: Everything is beautiful at Laon: the churches, the houses, the surroundings. He was quite right, and a good deal of time is needed to really experience Laon and its classified buildings situated in one of the largest protected heritage sites in France.
