Historic Center of Troyes

Highlight • Historical Site

Troyes is one of the cities in France which has managed to keep its architectural heritage from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance intact. Strolling through the pedestrian streets of this city is a feast for the eyes. The number of half-timbered houses is impressive. We owe this wealth in part to the important fairs of the past and also to the textile industry.

Memorial, park and canal fountain

Highlight • Monument

From here you have an overall view of the canal, the fountain in the middle, the statues and the war memorial. It's a great place to stop and refuel.

Trevois Canal

Troyes is located in the northeast of France, in the Champagne region. The aristocratic district lies around the imposing cathedral from the 13th century. Merchants and artisans lived in the market district of the half-timbered old town just a short distance away. The canals of the Seine separate the two areas and frame them.
Some roofs of the houses in the old town are so close together that even cats can get from one store to another. The alleys in between are therefore also called cat alleys.
Troyes gets really romantic at night. Half-timbered houses, churches and other striking buildings as well as the steel heart of Michèle and Thierry Kayo-Houët, which is the symbol of the city, are illuminated.

As you cycle along the perimeter of the lake, you will be greeted by expansive views of the lake waters bordered by dense forests. This area is part of the Forêt d'Orient Regional Natural Park, where you will find well-maintained trails that will take you through quiet forests and charming lakeside villages.
