Just a hop from London via the tunnel or the Ferry , one and a half hours from Paris and an hour south of Reims, you will find a tiny paradise with everything charming and relaxing about the French way of life. Gastronomic cuisine in a refined setting, vineyards as far as the eye can see, tasting the best champagne vintages in typical Champagne cellars, meeting the winegrowers, an authentic architecture with half timbered houses in medieval city of Troyes, antique shops and local specialities to bring home, as well as a bargain not to be missed in Troyes ‘ factory shops : the temple of fashion.
