Troyes, the historic capital of the Champagne region and a city of art and history, is highlighted for its architectural beauty, its timber-framed facades, its gastronomy and its 9 churches illuminated by listed stained glass windows.
The old fortifications that once protected the city have been replaced by boulevards that outline the city, forming the famous “Bouchon de Champagne” (seen from the air), whose interior is full of shopping and pedestrian streets and remarkably well-preserved and restored historic buildings. Pans de bois is omnipresent in Troyes city centre and around the Relais Saint Jean hotel.
Everywhere you will admire the high half-timbered and corbelled houses.
