Outstanding cultural and historical heritage

Its half-timbered houses’ and churches’ architecture, châteaux bordered by remarkable gardens, museums as numerous as they are varied, and religious monuments containing some 9000 m² of stained-glass windows awaiting your discovery along the Route du Vitrail, all go to make Aube in Champagne a département with an extraordinary cultural heritage. Follow in the footsteps of the great names that have left their mark on its territory. Immerse yourself in the intimacy of the painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s house, visit the former military school where the young Napoleon studied, and discover the Commandery of Avalleur, one of the few testimonies to the Templar period still existing in France.

Troyes, a heritage and shopping spree getaway

Troyes, City of Art and History, has a whole host of experiences on offer. Direct descendant of the old medieval town, the modern city has retained its historic centre’s champagne-cork shape... What you might call “setting the scene”! Troyes boasts an amazing collection of half-timbered houses inherited from the Middle ages and the Renaissance, along with 16th-century urban mansions, narrow little streets, inner courtyards and sumptuous churches, all well worth your attention. And for shopaholics, Troyes is also the European city with the most factory outlets.
