Soissons (pop. 29,439), situated on the Aisne to the northeast of Paris, has been the see of a bishop since the third century. In antiquity it was the capital of a Celtic tribe, the Suessiones. In 486 Clovis defeated the Roman general Syagrius here, and in 752 Pépin the Short was elected king of the Franks in Soissons.
