A region to be discovered
Champagne is not the only thing to be discovered. The region holds many treasures: Troyes, the beautiful medieval city shaped like a Champagne cork, sanctuary of Master Glassmakers, (a quarter of the national Heritage), remarkable gothic churches... A city in which most architecture
is from the 16th century. There we can admire the statuary of the School of Troyes from the 16th entury, the modern art museum (Modigliani, Braque, Picasso, Derain, Vlaminck, Delaunay…). The museum of Fine Arts, the ancient abbey Saint‐Loup (Watteau, Greuze, Natoire… and an
exceptional collection of sculptures from the 19th century), the museum of the Tool and of the Craftsmen thinking (a unique collection in the world).
