A new easy-to-reach French destination for your next choir tour

L’Aisne in North East France is a little known-gem in the Hauts-de France region, criss-crossed from east to west by the beautiful Aisne River. Surrounded by Nord, Somme, Oise, Ardennes, and Seine-et-Marne, it also borders Belgium to the northeast and offers a wealth of sight-seeing opportunities to visiting choirs as well as wonderful venues.

  • music tours to L'Aisne are set in beautiful countryside

There are lots of unique performing opportunities for a choir tour in L’Aisne: you could do a cathedrals tour, involving Amiens, Soissons, Laon and St Quentin; we can arrange for you to perform at a special event such as a memorial service in a cemetery and even meet the local major!; or you could pair up with a local choir for a joint concert.

Our choirs will stay in either St Quentin or Laon in hotels such as Hotel Kyriad; both are lovely cities with lots of shopping, bars and restaurants to explore in your free time. L’Aisne is only 2 ½ hours from Calais so this would make a great long weekend trip.

Some highlights of your choir tour to L’Aisne:

  • A visit to a Champagne ‘cave’

  • Visits to many significant WW1 and WW2 sites
