About Troyes

Troyes station is the main rail gateway to the historic capital of the Aube department, a city famous for its extraordinarily well-preserved medieval timber-framed centre, its outstanding collection of Gothic stained-glass churches, and its centuries-old role in the textile and knitwear industry. It is served by Intercités and TER trains from Paris-Est and on routes towards Chaumont, Dijon, and Auxerre, making it a moderately well-connected provincial city though not on a high-speed TGV line. Outlet shopping villages on the outskirts of Troyes — reflecting the city's textile heritage — draw significant visitor numbers, many of whom arrive by rail from Paris.
