A Cité du vitrail offering an interesting and fun visit for families, as well as exceptional programming.
The Cité du Vitrail, located on the banks of the Seine in Troyes, is much more than an exhibition: it's a gateway to Aube's rich stained-glass heritage, with over 9,000 m² of stained glass, the largest collection in France. Housed in the Hôtel-Dieu-le-Comte, this renovated barn showcases original stained glass suspended at eye level, allowing visitors to admire the filtered light and dexterity of past and present master glassmakers. Events are organized here all year round, as well as fun activities for families.

Members' reviews on STAINED-GLASS CITY
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
L'exposition permanente est bien plus pédagogique qu'au Centre International du Vitrail de Chartres. L'exposition temporaire sur la querelle des "modernes " et des "anciens " au début du XXième siècle au sujet des vitraux de Notre-Dame de Paris, passionnante, fait écho aux débats actuels sur la reconstruction de la Cathédrale après l'incendie de 2023.
5€ par personne et gratuit pour les étudiants, demandeurs d'emploi etc...
