Things to see and do Aube

This th century building dominates the village, and the nave and the double transept date back to the th century. It houses a classified mural painting of 1519 and two Charme altarpieces of charm. Some of its stained glass windows are quite atypical. Don't forget to go to the Sainte-Beline chapel, a little a in the village, nestled in the herbs, it can allow you a pleasant stop. More pleasant, it is sure that Saint-Beline was beheaded because of the lack of yielding to the advances of the village lord!

The Halles area: He was (with Saint-Jean neighbourhood) the commercial heart of the city. In the th century, the rich bourgeois emigrated from the district of the Cité to that of the Halles, taking with them commercial and cultural activity. A walk in this area will allow you to admire the beauty of the wooden houses, but also the picturesque Halles, and a few ensembles style ensembles.

The Theatres District: a rather cultural area, as its name indicates. Before it burned in 1892, the old wooden circus was installed there and the Mars fairs animated this neighborhood for a long time. The Theatre of Champagne (Quais), formerly known as the circus of Troyes, was built on its location in 1978. You can also discover the elegant architecture of the theatre of Madeleine (side of the railway station). In front of this theatre, the Trône fountain, water and light shed. On Gambetta Boulevard, the th-century villas are famous for grandeur, including the fantaisiste villa Viardot near the Caisse d'epargne.

The Arts Neighbourhood: this "high" neighbourhood attracted the richest people, the elite in a way. So this opulence is felt in the architecture of buildings, often richly decorated. The clerical power is manifested through the many religious buildings, the Vauluisant Abbey, for example. The Trinity Hospital (nowadays, the Hotel de Mauroy) was converted into knitted manufacture. It is essential because this activity will give a considerable boost to the city. See rue de Turenne, rue de la Trinité, and rue du Général-Saussier.

Canal Quarter: water was a vital element, whether it be for the inhabitants or to protect the city from fires (since all buildings were in wood) or to feed energy plants. Troyes owned some 70 public wells, but some remained. Drinking water was derived from the Moline Canal. From the early th century, it was decided that he would cross the city. Even today, the beautiful city preserved its canal. He even found ground recently, in the extension of the Dampierre Wharf, with his lover's bridge, his metal heart…

The Quartier des Expositions de Champagne: the main area, since it was in this part of the city that the legendary Champagne fairs were held, as well as the fairs of Brie. For several weeks, traders and traders came from the whole of Europe at this regional crossroads, to sell wool, silk, jewelry, leather, wine, but also to fix the price of currency. All of this world posed its "suitcases" around Saint John's church. You can imagine all this little world in the streets of the area. Notably Zola Street, which is still looking to trade. These fairs have definitively confirmed the power and wealth of Troyes. However, let us look at history a little: although Champagne was geographically well placed, the counts of Champagne influenced the reputation of the fairs.

You can always try this fountain, surmounted by a cross and a stone that covers the magic spring: it is supposed to heal you from your wounds! Another one exists in Aubaine in Côte-d'Or, but this one cures fevers...

It's hard to imagine that on this great square, the beautiful building is just the city hall. However, you can take a look at the lobby at the opening hours of the city hall, but private rooms will stay. For the rest, the mayor organizes a guided tour of the entire castle during heritage days and increasingly opens his park to demonstrations. He was formerly owned by Dupré, boss of the knitted industries of Romilly-sur-Seine, before being bought by the City in 1948. The façade, with a beautiful perron, is a privileged space for photographs, space for a moment, you will take a chateau. A beautifully beautifully decorated park is open to the public every day, then enjoy the promenade to see on the back wall, the impacts of bullets and shells, stigma of the Campaign de France. The pigeon is also a beautiful piece. The church is right next door, so you're still trotting a little!

Claude-Joseph Vernet (1764) will illustrate this view of Nogent-sur-Seine with the church Saint-Laurent, the fishermen holding their nets, and a young girl wearing his clothes in the landscape. Olive Island, on the look of Saint-Louis Island, derives its reputation from its presence in the sentimental education of Flaubert, and its name of the doctor emeritus, mayor in 1884, who donated it to the city in the exchange of the graves of his family. It was then called Collet Island or Île des Grands Locks, with as a sine qua non the absence of commerce, sale, cabin cabin… Today as yesterday, this nature is the ideal place for a romantic and romantic walk, especially as the setting up of a mobile bridge. The alleys of the park were traced and gravel, and the island as a whole, with three hectares, was remodeled thanks to a pruning of trees. An arboretum welcomes you and accompanies you with twenty panels that describe the different local species.
