Troyes, France, is a charming city located on the Seine River about 95 mi/150 km southeast of Paris in the Champagne region.
The town is characteristically medieval, with winding streets lined with 16th-century half-timbered houses.
The Musee d'Art Moderne exhibits works by such artists as Degas, Cezanne, Modigliani and Braque. There are another three good museums—the Musee Saint-Loup (a natural history museum), the Musee de Vauluisant (treasures from the Renaissance period in the Champagne region) and the Apothecairie de Hotel Dieu (a beautiful apothecary in its original 18th-century location).

It is a relatively easy drive from Paris and attracts shoppers from all over France.
