Troyes lies conveniently in the heart of Aube en Champagne, so visiting other attractions in the region is easy. It’s a charming city with numerous museums, churches and medieval buildings. Troyes was once the home of the Counts of Champagne and, in the Middle Ages, drew huge crowds to its famous fairs. Today it is known as the "holy city of stained glass" because it boasts a large number of beautiful stained glass windows dating from the 13th to the 19th century. These are on view in the cathedral and nine churches in the town – all of which are worth visiting.

France after all has the same population but ten times more land mass that the UK, making for more isolated communities and giving more importance to regional centres like Troyes whilst at the same time allowing them a degree of separate development from large cities. Rural France holds the keys to French identity, and every French town has its clutch of individual and chain hotels, often appearing to sit nervously on the edge of town, serving it but not being a part of it.
