The map
Troyes lies on the Seine in the Aube department, in northeastern France. Its historic centre is famous for its shape: seen from above, the outline of the old town, bounded by boulevards and canals, resembles a champagne cork. Inside, narrow streets of half-timbered houses wind between churches, squares and the Cathedral of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul.
Troyes was the historic capital of the Counts of Champagne and hosted major medieval trade fairs, which drew merchants from across Europe. The troy weight system, still used for precious metals, takes its name from the city. It was also home to Chrétien de Troyes, the twelfth-century poet of Arthurian romances.
A Troyes map poster shows the cork-shaped core in sharp detail, with its dense medieval streets surrounded by broader boulevards and the waters of the Seine. Beyond that, the modern city spreads in all directions. It is one of the most distinctive urban shapes in France, and it looks striking in any style.
The historic centre's outline, defined by boulevards and canals, resembles a champagne cork, a shape that stands out clearly on a black and white map.
Inside the old town, narrow and irregular lanes lined with timber-framed houses form a dense, intricate pattern, among the best-preserved medieval quarters in France.
The Seine and its branches and canals run through and around the city, adding flowing lines of water to the tightly packed streets.
