인구는 3만 2000명(1990)이다. 파리 북동쪽 98km, 엔강(江)의 좌안에 위치한다. 주교구청의 소재지로 13세기에 건립된 대성당이 있으며 농산물시장(감자·강낭콩)과 공업·교통의 중심지이다. 갈리아시대에는 수에시오네스족(族)의 수도였으며 그 후 로마의 도시로서도 번영하고, 메로빙거 왕조 시대에는 프랑크 왕국의 수도가 되었다. 486년 클로비스가 시아그리우스를 이곳에서 격파하였으며, 752년에 피핀이 카롤링거 왕조를 이곳에 수립하였다. 독일과의 싸움 때에는 항상 통과지가 되기 때문에 두 차례의 세계대전 때에도 피해가 컸다.

Soissons Cathedral Basilica (Basilique Cathédrale Saint-Gervais-et-Saint-Protais de Soissons) is a Gothic cathedral in Soissons, France. The construction of the south transept was begun about 1177, and the lowest courses of the choir in 1182. The choir with its original three-storey elevation and extremely tall clerestory was completed in 1211. This was earlier than Chartres, on which the design was supposed to have been based. Work then continued into the nave until the late 13th century. The single western tower dates from the mid-13th century and is an imitation of those of Notre Dame de Paris, which it equals in height (66 m, or 216 ft). The tower was restored after it and part of the nave were severely damaged in World War I. A matching tower on the other side of the façade was originally planned, but never built. The graceful southern transept, the oldest portion of the whole edifice, terminates in an apse. Unlike the rest of the building, it is divided inside into four (rather than three) levels. The choir end of the cathedral has stained glass from the 13th century. A tapestry from the 15th century depicts the life of the martyrs Gervasius and Protasius, the patron saints of the cathedral. Rubens' Adoration of the Shepherds hangs in the northern transept, as does a painting by Philippe de Champaigne.Maurice Duruflé composed his work for organ "Fugue sur  Le carillon des heures (help·info) de la Cathédrale de Soissons" op. 12 (1962) Some of the stained glass windows from the Cathedrale de Soissons are on permanent exhibit at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland  and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, MA

The Abbey of St. Jean des Vignes was a monastery of Augustinian Canons situated in the south western hills of Soissons, Aisne, France. only ruins remain, of which the west front is still one of the most spectacular pieces of architecture in the town. The abbey was founded on St. John's hill in 1076 by Hughes Le Blanc for a community of Augustinian Canons. Initially built in Romanesque style, the first buildings were replaced at the end of the 12th century by those visible today. The west front was begun in the 12th century, although not finished until the 16th. The refectory and cellar date from the 13th century, parts of the cloisters from the end of the 13th century, while other parts are from the 16th century, as is the abbot's lodging. When the abbey was suppressed during the French Revolution the premises were put to use for military purposes, and an arsenal was added. The site was acquired by the town of Soissons in the 1970s and the remaining buildings are now occupied by educational and heritage-related bodies.
