About this experience

Set off for an hour and a half of discovery on foot (about 3 km) through 16 emblematic places in the historic centre of Troyes, the famous “champagne cork”.

I propose a friendly walk, punctuated by some historical anecdotes, but above all rich in local tips: must-see addresses, favorite spots of Trojans, secret corners and specialities not to be missed.

I share my favorites with you:
– Where to drink a good champagne?
– Where to taste a real andouillette or an MOF pastry?
– Where to have a cocktail in a place full of history?

This walk is Troyes told by a local, between heritage, pleasure and authenticity
