If you are looking for a peaceful and historic place to hike, you can visit the Garden of the Innocents. This garden is located next to the Sainte-Madeleine church, the oldest in Troyes, and was built on an old cemetery. There you can admire the medieval architecture of the church and the vaulted funerary gallery, as well as the collection of green and white plants, symbolizing eternity, purity and wisdom. The garden is open from June to mid-October, and entry is free.
