Rainbows In Champagne - The Town Of Troyes

The town of Troyes ( prounced Trwa) just a bit south of the Champagne country always takes visitor - French as well as foreigners - by surprise. This lively town of narrow cobbled streets, half timbered houses in ochre, pink and yellow was once the capitol of the counts of Champagne. Today’s it's an unspoiled treasure trove of art and architecture, a thriving modern city that wears its past with elegance and charm.Walking in the old quarter whisks you straight into the world the of the 'Three Musketeers.'

It’s an unvisited city by most tourists and after seeing it, one can only exclaim “C’est Epoustouflant!”….”it’s staggering.

Be sure to have lunch at Le Valentino restaurant, set in a 16th Century serving excellent French food at reasonable prices.
