Troyes, the city of a thousand colours

© Atout France-Ooshot @WorldElse
It’s difficult to describe Troyes in just a few lines because it has so much to offer! In fact, you simply have to go there so that you can discover this truly magnificent city for yourself. Countless wood-panelled houses, old churches, each more lovely than the last…and friendly streets. All this heritage is alive and welcoming: it’s a pleasure to stroll along the charming Ruelle des Chats, to visit the Museum of Fine-Arts or to sip a glass of Champagne. In short, happiness on your very doorstep.

Saint-Pierre Saint-Paul Cathedral

Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Cathedral in Troyes is unique in that it only has one tower, as the second one was never actually built. This asymmetry gives it a certain charm.

Montgueux

The area that produces the most original of the Champagne appellations – and the most isolated – is undoubtedly Troyes. A few kilometres from the city centre, at the commune of Montgueux, you can lose yourself among the vineyards.
