  1. A

    McArthur Glen

    Most factory-outlet stores are situated in two main zones. One is Pont Sainte Marie, about 3km northeast of Troyes' city centre along rue Marc Verdier, which links av Jean Jaurès (the N77 to Châlons-en-Champagne) with av Jules Guesde (the D960 to Nancy). McArthur Glen is a huge strip mall with 84 shops. Adjacent Marques City (%03 25 46 37 48; www.marquescity.com) brings together 30 more stores.

    Cellier St-Pierre

    A fine place to purchase bubbly and Aube wines such as rosé des Riceys. The cellar has been used since 1840 to distil Prunelle de Troyes (€20 per bottle), a 40 per cent liqueur made with sloe (blackthorn fruit) that's great on ice cream. The modest production facilities, which you can visit, are often fired up on Friday and Saturday mornings.

  6. Magasins d'Usine

    Troyes is famous across France for its factory outlets, a legacy of the now largely delocalisé (outsourced-overseas) local knitwear industry. Brand-name sportswear, underwear, baby clothes, shoes and so on – discontinued styles, unsold stock, returns, prototypes – attract bargain-hunters by the coachload.

    Most stores are in two main zones. St-Julien-les-Villas is about 3km south of the centre along bd de Dijon (D671 towards Dijon). Here, Marques Avenue boasts 240 name brands.
