Introducing Troyes
Troyes – like Reims, one of the historic capitals of Champagne – has a lively old city that’s graced with one of France’s finest ensembles of Gothic churches and medieval and Renaissance half-timbered houses. It is one of the best places in France to get a sense of what Europe looked like back when William Shakespeare was alive. Several unique and very worthwhile museums provide further reasons to spend some time here.

Troyes does not have any champagne cellars. However, you can shop till you drop in its scores of outlet stores specialising in brand-name clothing and accessories, a legacy of the city’s long-time role as France’s knitwear capital.
