The historic town of Troyes (pronounced trwa) is found in the Champagne Ardennes region of Northeast France. It is the capital of the department of Aube, and is situated at a midway point between Reims and Dijon in Burgundy. The town is surrounded by some quite magnificent countryside, making the area an attractive proposition for those seeking to buy rural French property.
Troyes is a town that is firmly on the tourist map. Many visitors come to Troyes to see its medieval heart. There are many examples of half-timbered Troyes property here, as well as some outstanding courtyards, churches and chateaux. Although Troyes does not have the champagne houses that are found in the north of the region in Reims and Epernay, it does have a long association with this premier sparkling wine - there is even a guided route around the streets in the shape of a champagne cork!
Troyes property for sale in the town itself is in a mix of styles from medieval through renaissance to more modern 20th century style properties. Some of the most sought after French property in the town is along the River Seine that traverses through the eastern part of town. In the surrounding countryside you'll find lakes, forests, hills and valleys that are ideal locations in which to search for that dream villa in France.
