Église Saint-Pantaléon (Troyes) This 16th-century church is a hidden gem in the heart of Troyes' old town. From the outside, it looks rather simple, but be sure to step inside: the interior is richly filled with exceptional wooden sculptures and stained-glass windows that beautifully filter the warm, soft light. The statues and saints seem to come to life and offer a beautiful glimpse into religious art in Champagne during the Renaissance. The church is dedicated to Saint Pantaléon, the patron saint of physicians, a fact reflected in some of the details and ornamentation. Thanks to its tranquil atmosphere and refined craftsmanship, it's a place to slow down—perfect for a stroll through Troyes. Tip: Take your time looking up; the wooden sculptures are at various heights and are easy to miss if you walk too quickly.

Fun facts & legends • In 1789, the police wanted to put up fences because the alley was notorious as a meeting place for lovers. • A local legend tells of a pregnant woman who was miraculously saved when a wall “moved aside” in front of her belly. • The street is also said to have played a role during epidemics: the many cats helped keep rat populations under control. Why visit? • Very photogenic: One of the most photographed places in Troyes – often featured on postcards. • Historic and romantic: Perfect for those who love medieval towns and hidden gems. • Nearby: You’ll also find cozy cafés and a cat café (“Troyes Petits Chats”), plus a pretty courtyard called Cour du Mortier d’Or and the Jardin Juvénal-des-Ursins.

The Ruelle des Chats, or Cat Alley, is one of the most charming and famous streets in the old town of Troyes, located in the Champagne region of France. ⸻ 🏛️ History & Architecture • Medieval origins: The alley dates back to the 15th century and was rebuilt after a major fire in 1524. • Why the name “Cat Alley”?: The houses are built so that their upper floors almost lean against each other. It is said that a cat could jump from one roof to the other — hence the name. • Typical half-timbering: The street is paved with a gutter in the middle for rainwater, and the houses are half-timbered with wooden beams that stabilize the whole. ⸻ 🌆 Atmosphere & charm • Romantic appearance: The narrow passage and leaning facades create a mysterious, almost fairytale-like atmosphere. • Reconstruction: In 2014, several half-timbered houses were rebuilt based on old prints and photos. • Preserved thanks to heritage protection: In the 1960s, the street was saved from demolition by the efforts of heritage organisations and Minister André Malraux.

Place de la Libération in Épernay is a historic and symbolic place. It is the focal point of the commemoration of the liberation of the city, which took place on 28 August 1944. This square is also known for the monument to the martyrs of the Resistance, which honours the memory of the resistance fighters who died.

With the logging, I lost the little path that goes around the woods.

A lot of fun on this great mountain bike trail through the woods. The slide is a must-do.

The 50-metre footbridge passes over the Seine reservoir supply channel, allowing cyclists to continue along the lakes cycle route.

Superb courses in a very pleasant place.
