Trou au Chat Trail

Highlight • Trail

The climb to the Trou au Chat is quite dreaded by the runners of the famous race of the ramparts of Provins. But where does the name of this trail come from? Several theories but no explanation that holds up 100%, so let yourself be carried away by its charm!

The moats

Highlight • Historical Site

The moats of Provins are today without water. This allows you to stroll in peace, admiring the width of the ditch and the magnitude of the ramparts that stand at your side.

Garnier Garden

The Jardin Garnier is one of the parks in Provins. Well decorated with sculptures and flower beds, this garden is worth a detour, the time of a loop on foot. We recognize the 19th century style and the taste for essences.

Open every day except January 1 and December 25.
- From May to September: every day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- October to April: daily from 8 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.
