TROYES
Renowned for its revolutionary motto. Unity and indivisibility of the Republic.
Liberty Equality Fraternity or Death.
The contemporary town is therefore the direct heir to the medieval city, which gave the historic heart of Troyes its characteristic champagne cork shape, like a happy harbinger of what was to become the world's most famous wine, which is grown right on Troyes' doorstep...
An exceptional heritage, a thriving cultural life
an authentic and unforgettable holiday.
Middle-class houses
A beautiful heritage to discover.
Troyes stands out for the diversity of its rich heritage, inherited from three key periods in its history. Firstly, the Middle Ages, when the town centre took on the urban form of a Champagne cork, with its maze of narrow streets, several Gothic churches and its cathedral. Then there was the Renaissance, which gave the city a unique collection of half-timbered houses, private mansions and religious buildings of Italian influence. Finally, the industrial era saw the development of some fine examples of industrial and residential architecture outside the Bouchon de Champagne.

The different cartiers in Troyes.
The town centre, the heart of which is shaped like a Champagne cork, has preserved a remarkable heritage (seen from the air, the trees and canals form the so-called "cork" around the 53 hectares of the historic centre).
There are, for example, half-timbered houses from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (notably in rue Passerat), which have been undergoing restoration since the early 1990s.
Some roofs and houses are covered in chestnut tiles, a wood reputed to be rot-proof.
But there are also many timber-framed houses dating back to the 16th century, almost all of which are in the Renaissance style, which makes them remarkable from an architectural point of view, as well as stone and brick buildings with a grid pattern known as Damier Champenois. Some dwellings were rebuilt identically after the general fire of 1524, mainly in the Saint-Jean district.
