The historic capital of the Champagne-Ardenne region, Troyes is a significant town in the timeline of French history. Nearly untouched by the World Wars, Troyes medieval buildings and churches have managed to stay intact, preserving an exceptional density of religious edifices that was once true all around the country. Symbolic of the bubbly that the region produces, the city center of Troyes is arranged in the shape of a champagne cork; the same shape that it was centuries ago when Troyes was a center of medieval commerce. Here you can walk the medieval streets, eat regional specialties and see the religious sites that once made this city an important hub.
