The old town of Troyes



Troyes is a couple of hours drive from Paris about 100 mile journey

Troyes is a town in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France that is steeped in history, particularly from the medieval period. As you walk through the old town, you can see the influence of this era in the architecture and design of the buildings.

The medieval half-timbered houses of Troyes are a sight to behold, with their exposed wooden beams and intricate carvings. The colors of the buildings are also a striking feature, with many painted in shades of pink, blue, and green. It's easy to get lost in the winding streets of the old town, admiring the beauty of the buildings and imagining what life was like in this town centuries ago.

But it's not just the grand buildings that make Troyes special. The town is full of small details that hint at its medieval past, such as the narrow alleyways and hidden courtyards. It's easy to imagine knights and merchants walking these same streets hundreds of years ago.

Overall, the architecture of Troyes is a testament to the town's rich history and is a must-see for anyone interested in medieval architecture and design.

One of the most popular landmarks in Troyes is the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Troyes, which dates back to the 13th century. The cathedral's intricate Gothic architecture is awe-inspiring, and visitors can admire the beautiful stained-glass windows and the stunning vaulted ceiling

The region of Champagne is world-famous for its sparkling wine and the city of Troyes in Champagne-Ardenne played a significant role in the region's history. The Champagne region was once a part of the powerful medieval County of Champagne, and Troyes was one of the most important cities in the county.

During the Middle Ages, Troyes was a thriving center of commerce and trade. The city played a key role in the textile industry and was famous for its production of high-quality cloth. The Counts of Champagne encouraged the development of the industry, which led to the growth of the city and the construction of many beautiful Gothic buildings that still stand today.

The prosperity of Troyes continued into the Renaissance period, when the city became a hub of art and culture. Many famous artists and writers passed through Troyes, and the city was widely regarded as a center of learning and creativity.

The history of Champagne played a major role in the development of Troyes, and the legacy of this history can still be seen today in the city's stunning architecture and rich cultural heritage. From the Gothic churches to the Renaissance palaces, the old town of Troyes is a treasure trove of history and culture that is waiting to be discovered by tourists from all over the world.

You can find several vineyards and Champagne houses in and around Troyes that offer wine-tasting tours and experiences. Apart from Champagne,

Troyes is also famous for its culinary specialties. For example, the Andouillette sausage is a regional specialty that is made from pork intestines and is known for its distinct taste. Another local dish is Chaource cheese, which is a soft, creamy cheese that has a mild flavor and goes well with bread and wine.

When in Troyes, you must try the local delicacies at the restaurants and cafes in the old town. You can also visit the markets to sample some of the local products and buy some to take home as souvenirs. Tasting local culinary specialties and drinks is a great way to fully immerse yourself in the culture of a place and create lasting memories of your trip.
