More to know about Troyes
Troyes is a city in the Champagne-Ardenne region of northeastern France. Known for its Renaissance architecture, half-timbered houses, and medieval street layout, the city preserves a distinctive character shaped by its champagne trade heritage. Visitors explore the compact old town on foot, visit the Cathedral of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, and tour local champagne cellars and textile museums.
Troyes is the prefecture of the Aube department within the Grand Est region of northeastern France, located approximately 150 kilometres southeast of Paris along the Seine river. Historically the capital of the County of Champagne and a major medieval trading fair city, it retains one of France's most intact old town cores, characterised by half-timbered architecture, a dense concentration of Gothic and Flamboyant churches, and significant Renaissance civic buildings. The city's industrial legacy in hosiery and textile manufacture underpins its contemporary identity as France's leading outlet shopping destination.
