Troyes is a couple of hours drive from Paris about 100 mile journey
Troyes is located on the Seine river in the Champagne-Ardenne region.
The old town centre has narrow streets. With wooden houses the upper levels stick out almost touching the houses across the street.
In the past if a fire started it would spread through the town very quickly.
You can find most of the old houses between the cathedral and the railway station. The town has 9 old churches and several museums. You can get a pass to most of the museum for 6 euros it gets you into them all bar one and is a good buy. Places to eat a review of the towns restaurants and prices. A local Map of the area
