Heart of Troyes
A heart this big !
The heart of the city sits on the quays of the old canal, opposite the Champagne theatre.
This stainless steel d'entelle was designed by a couple of artists from the Aube (Michèle and Thierry Kayo-Houel) and manufactured in a Trojan factory (Sotralinox).
It's a slender work of art, weighing in at just 2 tonnes, but with dimensions worthy of entry in the record books: 4 metres wide, 3.5 metres high and 2 metres deep.
This heart, although artificial, is very emotional, turning red at night as you approach it thanks to an ingenious play of light.
Positioned at the epicentre of the city, between the body and the head of the Bouchon, this monument also symbolises the romanticism of the historic city.
A few steps away, the pretty footbridge spanning the canal resembles the Pont des Arts, with its tangle of padlocks hung by couples in love.
