The early history of Troyes is closely linked to that of the Roman Empire. The city was founded in the 1st century BC and was known as Augustobona. It was an important center of trade and commerce, thanks to its location at the crossroads of several major Roman roads. The city prospered under Roman rule and was a thriving urban center, with a population of around 10,000 people.
During the early Middle Ages, Troyes was a center of Christian learning and was home to several important monasteries and abbeys. It was also an important center of trade and commerce, with a thriving market that attracted traders from all over Europe. The city continued to grow and prosper, and by the 11th century, it had become one of the largest and most important cities in France.
During the High Middle Ages, Troyes became a center of the Champagne trade. The region surrounding the city was renowned for its production of high-quality wine, which was exported all over Europe. The Champagne trade brought great wealth to Troyes, and the city became a center of luxury and culture. The wealthy merchants and nobles who lived in Troyes commissioned magnificent works of art, including some of the most beautiful stained glass windows in France.
After the Middle Ages, Troyes continued to flourish as a center of trade and commerce. The city was a hub for the textile industry and was renowned for its production of high-quality fabrics. The city's weavers and dyers were highly skilled and were in demand all over Europe. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the city's textile industry began to decline, but the city continued to prosper thanks to its thriving trade in wine and other commodities.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, Troyes underwent a period of great transformation. The city's medieval walls were demolished, and many new buildings were constructed. The city's urban layout was reorganized, and new public spaces, such as the Place de la Libération, were created. Many of the city's historic buildings, including its Gothic cathedral, were renovated and restored.
In the 19th century, Troyes became an important center of the French Revolution. The city was a stronghold of the Jacobin movement, which was a radical faction that supported the revolutionary government in Paris. The city was the site of several important events during the Revolution, including the trial and execution of the Girondins, a group of moderate revolutionaries who were opposed to the radicalism of the Jacobins.
In the 20th century, Troyes continued to evolve and adapt to changing times. The city's economy diversified, and new industries, such as printing and electronics, were established. The city also became a center of higher education, with the creation of several universities and research institutes.
Today, Troyes is a vibrant and dynamic city that is home to a rich cultural heritage. The city's historic center, with its narrow streets and timber-framed houses, is a popular destination for tourists. The city is also known for its excellent museums, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Science and Industry.

The music you picked to accompany your beautiful shots are just chef's kiss!
Oh thank you! I worked hard on that particular edit! 😊😊 this means a lot that you recognized the effort. Merci! ☺️
This is a fantastic tour! Now I want to visit!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! That really is very kind of you. I’m so glad that this inspired a trip!
I was born here 38 years ago. All my family is from this wonderful place.
I still live here and I won't leave for the world. Thank you for making my hometown known beyond the borders.
The first medieval city of France.
Thank you so much for your kind comments! ☺️☺️
I share the same thought. Thank you for your video.
Wow. I'm speechless, really. This video is gorgeous, but more importantly, your editing and incredible sound track made me feel like I was walking right next to you. That doesn't just happen.Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us!! Oh my goodness, those churches...
Dear Jodee, your comment brings tears to my eyes. I tried so hard to create a video that was really unique and different than anything I’ve done in the past. And your comment is exactly what I was striving for. What a gift this messages to me! All of this is self-taught and learning through experience, and while I’m certainly not a professional, my love and passion for this country creates an overwhelming desire to be vulnerable. And draws out my creativity. You are right in saying that this doesn’t just happen. This took so many hours and days of work and planning. But this comment you shared with me is worth it alone. Thank you.
This is such a lovely city! The church architecture and artwork are wonderful. So much to take in and enjoy. Merci, Shannon!

Thank you so much for watching and for your support, Maria!
Hi - I watched this video because my wife spoke highly of it. At length. We can frankly say that she was going on and on. 😉 And now I see why. This is an incredibly lovely and enjoyable video! Thank you for sharing it and thank you for the obvious hours invested in its production. We'll absolutely be visiting Troye this fall, and it is absolutely going to be because of this video. Merci bien!
Carl! What can I say? This made my stomach flip, like a roller coaster, so full of butterflies and happiness. Your honest review, kindness, support, and encouragement, along with some of the other comments I received today, is beyond anything I could have dreamed of. It encourages and motivates me. And fills me with so much joy. Thank you for taking the time to watch. And THEN to post this? What a gift 💝. Merci.
Quel beau reportage ! Merci de montrer que la France ce n'est pas que Paris et, de façon générale, qu'un pays ne se réduit pas à sa capitale. Il y a des trésors à découvrir partout, et je vous souhaite de belles découvertes dans toutes nos belles régions, très diversifiées, la France étant un pays fait de multiples territoires qui ont chacun leur personnalité.
Your video is amazing, it transported me there ❤ Thank you so much for sharing your journey!
Awwww thank you SO much Pilar. I worked extra hard on that video. And I’m thrilled it resonated with you. Thank you for taking the time to message me. It means a lot!

Beautiful tour! Thank you for sharing. I did watch this before when you first posted it! Love these half timber buildings. Absolutely lovely!♥️🩷♥️
Thank you very much!
Thank you for this wonderful video of Troyes. I'd never heard about it or seen videos of it before today. I've subscribed to you channel and look forward to viewing other videos.
Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for being here ☺️
This is just beautiful! PERFECT music, editing, and text info, thank you for sharing this gorgeous gem of a village! Adding it to the wish list.
Thank you so much!
Just stunning. Your best video to date. I am adding Troyes on my must visit list when I come to France. So happy you have reached over 1k subscribers! And many more to come I am certain.
Alida dear, thank you so much for your support. And thank you for recognizing the extra effort on this video. Merci!
Our second video with coffee this morning. It was like opening a present, beautifully put together and once again a delightful soundtrack. Something we notice in many of the churches is the chairs instead of pews, not all the churches but it does stand out to us. Were there pews at one time Shannon? We do realize how old these beautiful churches are and perhaps the pews simply aged out. Merci once again for a fabulous tour. 🥰
It’s a great question but I don’t have an answer for you. I will say that I can’t think of any church that I’ve been in here that had pews. So perhaps it’s the opposite and it’s a newer seating style that was never adopted here?
Ma ville ma fierté et une des villes les plus importantes de France dans le moyen âge !!
Gorgeous video! Loved the music & soundtrack to accompany the image, plus informative!
Thanks so much, Summer! 😊😊
What a beautiful tour! I would need at least 2-3 days to really enjoy it. But worth the trip
I agree! I think the ideal itineraries would be one day to visit the churches, one day, to visit the museums, and one day to try some of the champagne from that immediate area. There’s so much to do!
Well, this was absolutely fabulous. Thank you Shannon!
You are so welcome!
You should come back in April: I've just spent 3 days there and it's even more stunning with trees in blossom and flowers everywhere!
Thank you! That’s a great idea!
Well done, Shannon! Took me a while to be able to watch your video, but so glad I did. I'll be adding this to my itinerary while in France this year. So appreciate you taking your time to find & share with us, the special places you find in France. When visiting, I'll likely stay more than a day and wondering if you can suggest budget minded lodging that would be walkable to & from, but not necessarily in the central tourist area? Also, the idea of doing the bike route sounds amazing to me. 🚲
Hi DiAnn! Thank you so much for watching. I’m thrilled that you enjoyed this video. 🥳🥰🥰
So, I generally do not offer lodging recommendations unless I have (preferably) stayed in the property myself or, at the very least, toured it.
That being said, I do recommend Booking.com. In France, it has a wide variety of professional and private listings, in all property types and a TON of filters to choose from so you can get exactly what you need. Additionally, their cancellation policies are superb.
And this is the capitale of Champagne wine and near Chablis Good and cheap restaurants. 1 gothic cathédral and another church as manificent. One of the richest city during middle age and renaissance period. A crossing market between venitian goods and spices from east and furs and iron steels from north etc. Really nice place to be.
Thank you for sharing this excellent feedback!
Thank you !!!!
You're welcome!
Troyes was the home of Rabbi Shlomo Ben Yitzachi, better known as Rashi, one of the most famous and influential Biblical and Talmudic interpreter in Jewish history.
Thank you for sharing this!
Great video! I’m going to be in Paris in late April and was thinking of a day trip and decided that this is it. I was not familiar with Troyes before your video. How far in advance did you buy your train ticket?
I’m thrilled that this video helped you with your travel decisions! And I hope you’ll enjoy this trip, Barbara. I can’t imagine how even more magical it will be with the gardens in bloom. I purchased my train tickets only just a couple days in advance. It’s a commuter train. But best prices will be 2-3 months out.
@@ThisFrenchLife Thank you!
Quelle beauté! L'année prochaine je vais faire un échange avec l'UTT mais j'ignorais totallement quel endroit merveilleux que c'est! Vaut peut-être le coup de saisir une place dans le centre....
Merci Shannon! Troyes looks fascinating - do you know when the Joan of Arc festival is held?
Usually it’s held in June or July, and sometimes its hosted in Reims too.
Bonjour ,merci ,j'habite à 30 km ,il y a des endroits que j'ai jamais visité
Merci Béa. l'office de tourisme dispose également de superbes cartes et ressources. J'aime Troyes.
Pareil, j'habite pas loin. Excellente vidéo. ^^
Great video but there are many informations concerning the rival city of Reims located in the north of the region...
The Fêtes Johanniques, the Coronation of the kings of France, the Michelin restaurants. That's all in Reims!
Thanks but I beg to differ! The fete was originally held in Troyes and I’ve seen posts about it’s return. And yes, there are a LOT of restaurants, including Michelin, to choose from in Troyes. Thanks for watching!
@@ThisFrenchLife There are very good restaurants but sadly no Michelin in Troyes :/ and the Joannic fest wasn't held first in Troyes but in Orleans !
I'm from Troyes and the city is eclatax, nothing to do.
I found it very charming and interesting to visit! I hope others do too.
@@ThisFrenchLife Yeah maybe for visiting 1 day. But as inhabitant it's very boring, there is the cinema, outlet stores and that's basically all.
Troyes n'est pas un village
Merci
