Tourism
in Troyes

The prestigious past of the city of Troyes has left it with many historic remains.

During a walk near our hotel in Troyes, admire in particular the Cathédrale Saint-Paul-et-Saint-Pierre, a beautiful Gothic building constructed between the 13th and 17th centuries. It has a magnificent glass roof and was listed as a Historic Monument in 1862. The Basilica of Saint-Urbain is also worth a visit. This Gothic church, built in the 13th century, was listed as a Historic Monument in 1840. Troyes is also known as the city of 10 churches. From the church of Sainte-Madeleine to the church of Saint-Jean-au-Marché, via the church of Saint-Pantaléon, lovers of religious art will be well served during their stay in Troyes. Troyes has a rich history with a prestigious past and no shortage of curiosities. The Knights Templar, the Champagne Fairs... everything is there to delight history buffs!

There are also a number of museums within easy reach of our hotel in Troyes. The Musée d'Art Moderne, for example, houses an impressive collection of works of art (from Gauguin to Matisse, via Delaunay and Courbet). It is housed in the former bishop's palace. There are also two museums of folk arts and traditions worth visiting: the Musée de Vauluisant and the Maison de l'Outil de la Pensée Ouvrière. They will tell you more about local arts and crafts, their origins and their development. You can also get off the beaten track and discover an unusual museum: the Musée Aubois de l'Histoire de l'Education (Aubois Museum of the History of Education). This is your chance to discover or rediscover the teaching and educational conditions of yesteryear.

Why not try the andouillette de Troyes, an ancient regional dish? You can also enjoy the rich flavours of the local produce: Mussy cheese, Prunelle de Troyes, Cacibel, etc. Of course, Troyes is also a champagne-producing region, and it would be sacrilege not to indulge in a little tasting of this delicious beverage...

Numerous festivals and events are organised throughout the year in Troyes. These include festivals such as Guitares au Monde and the Festival du Film Court, as well as fairs such as the Foire au Jambon and the Fête de la Choucroute, flea markets, concerts, markets and workshops.
