Troyes
Immerse yourself in the secrets of an extraordinary place by visiting the former Hennequin prison in Troyes. Closed in April 2024 after nearly 2 centuries in operation, this prison, built on the site of a former 18th-century convent, is opening its doors to you for the first time.
During this guided tour, explore the interior of this building steeped in history. Explore the austere cells, high-walled courtyards, kitchen and gym. Follow the long corridor of the mural-decorated parlor and get up close to the graffiti left by inmates. The solitary confinement area also reveals the other side of prison life.
Book your ticket now so you don’t miss out on this unusual experience, and come and discover a unique place usually closed to the public!
