Troyes Airport

About Troyes

Troyes, the central town of Aube and the original capital of Champagne, is steeped in history. When Attila the Hun invaded Gaul in 451 destroying everything in his path, the bishop of Troyes, St Loup, offered himself to the invader and asked him to spare the town. Attila the Hun did.

Troyes has maintained its commercial prosperity of medieval times through its famous champagne fairs held in the second week in June. Bar sur Aube has a Foire aux Vins de Champagne in the second week of September.

Fire destroyed much of Troyes in 1524 but wealthy inhabitants rebuilt it on a larger, more opulent scale - and a lot remains today. The attractive timber-framed houses are superb and the tourist office has details of the tours of the old town. In summer, night time tours and son et lumière displays are not to be missed.

The extraordinary Apothicairerie de l’Hôtel Dieu le Comte in Troyes is an 18th century pharmacy down to the tiniest detail. Hundreds of apothecary’s phials, receptacles and containers are on display to fascinate hypochondriacs and health-nuts alike!
