Places to see in ( Troyes - France )
Places to see in ( Troyes - France )
Troyes is a town in the Grand Est region of northeastern France. Its medieval old town features narrow, cobbled streets lined with colorful, half-timbered houses, mostly dating from the 16th century. The town is home to several Gothic churches with striking stained-glass windows. These include the Troyes Cathedral, the Église Sainte-Madeleine and the Basilique Saint-Urbain.
Troyes has a lively centre that’s graced with one of France’s finest ensembles of half-timbered houses and Gothic churches. Often overlooked, it’s one of the best places in France to get a sense of what Europe looked like back when Molière was penning his finest plays and the Three Musketeers were swashbuckling. Several unique and very worthwhile museums are another lure. Troyes does not have any Champagne cellars. However, you can shop in its scores of outlet stores stuffed with brand-name clothing and accessories, a legacy of the city’s long-time role as France’s knitwear capital.
The downtown area is easily walkable however to go to the outlet malls requires a car. From one side of the downtown to the other is probably a 30 min walk. Troyes is located between to Paris, Reimes, Dijon, and Nancy making it an ideal base to explore the Champagne region. There are some lakes a short drive to the east of the city. The local football (soccer) team, ESTAC, is currently (2013 to 2014 season) in the second French division. Get tickets in the supporters section if possible as it is the cheapest and most exciting. It is very safe. Troyes has some of the best examples of preserved medieval houses in all of Europe, attracting many tourists. There are many old Churches throughout the city and wandering down the stone cobbled streets can make you feel like you are back in time. Besides this Troyes has some nice parks and squares. The Seine river runs through the city, dividing the downtown area roughly in two, and in nice weather you can sit beside it and sip some coffee.
Troyes offers a multimedia library, ice skating, a movie theatre, lazer tag, bowling, pools, and 4 museums. Musée d'Art moderne, Musée Saint-Loup, Musée de Vauluisant, and Musée de l'Apothicairerie. Saint-Loup is the best but they are all worth a look depending on your taste.
Lac d'Auzon-Temple and the Lac d'Orient are two man made lakes to the east of Troyes which are used to control the water levels of other rivers, they are very nice in good weather. As noted above Paris (west), Nancy (east), Dijon (south), or Reimes (north) can be reached for a day trip by car or train. The outlet malls mentioned above also have some good deals.
Troyes has been in existence since the Roman era, as Augustobona Tricassium, which stood at the hub of numerous highways, primarily the Via Agrippa which led north to Reims and south to Langres and eventually to Milan; other Roman routes from Troyes led to Poitiers, Autun and Orléans.
Many half-timbered houses (mainly of the 16th century) survive in the old town:
Hôtels Particuliers (palaces) of the old town
The Hôtel de Ville, Place Alexandre Israël, is an urbane example of the style Louis XIII. On the central corps de logis which contains the main reception rooms, its cornice is rhythmically broken forward over paired Corinthian columns which are supported below by strong clustered pilasters. Above the entrance door the statue of Louis XIV was pulled out of its niche and smashed in 1793, during the Reign of Terror at the height of the French Revolution; it was replaced in the nineteenth century with the present Helmeted Minerva and the device in its original form, now rare to see Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, ou la Mort

Tour of Marché Jean-Talon Market , Montreal , Canada
The Jean-Talon Market gives visitors a richer, more authentic market experience.
The Jean-Talon Market is frequented by Montreal residents rather than tourists, which translates to cheaper prices and a more genuine range of product.
Whether you want to soak up the atmosphere of a Montreal market, pick up lunch or buy a tasty Montreal souvenir, Jean Talon Market is well worth the visit .
There's loads of taste testers in the market and kiosks selling such tasty fare as Calamari & Chips or irresistible Onion Bhaji.
Olive & Épices offers workshops and tastes of its exquisite oils and spices.
Many Jean-Talon merchants, such as Boucherie les Fermes Saint-Vincent, have been growing organic food for years.
Havre aux Glaces specializes in unique frozen desserts.
The Jean-Talon Market is a great place to visit as there is lots going on , during a normal day of operation the market is always busy given the walk from the subway is about 10 mins and the prices you can't beat.
There's even live music by local musicians like Ms. Véronique Bacci
and her lovely accordion music as seen at 4:28 of our video.
During my visit her music gave the market that old yet classic village market feel similar to that of the markets in France & Northern Europe.
The market is open year-round, even during Montreal's severe winters, although during this time walls are placed around the entire market area. During the peak summer period, between June and October, its open-air arcades are occupied by about 300 vendors, mostly farmers from the countryside around Montreal.
The open air market is surrounded by other food businesses: meat, fish and cheese stores, bulk food emporia, dealers in spices and imported goods, bakeries, restaurants and a branch of the SAQ, among others.
Stores surrounding the open-air market include: La Fromagerie Hamel William J. Walter boucherie Les Touilleurs kitchenware
Since July 15, 2006 vehicles are banned from circulating inside the market's streets during the summer weekends.
Choices & selection:
In addition to the above, Jean-Talon Market features chocolatiers, fromageries, maple syrup makers, bakeries, wine shops, sushi, and more.
History of the market :
The market was opened to the public in 1933 while Camillien Houde was the city mayor. Before that, the space the market now occupies was a lacrosse field for the Shamrock Lacrosse Grounds club.
The market's single building (the chalet) quickly become the focal point for development of the area around it. From the opening until 1961, the chalet was used as a terminal for buses heading to the neighbouring city of Laval.
Between 1961 and 1970 a municipal library and a social services centre replaced the bus station. Since then, the space was occupied by administrative offices.
Major renovations were undertaken in 2004 to handle the crowds that populate the market during the summer months. An underground parking lot was constructed, and an above ground structure was built over the underground parking area, to host 20 specialty boutiques.
Getting to Jean-Talon Market:
Address: 7070, Henri-Julien St., south of Jean-Talon St.
By subway: Take the blue line toward Saint-Michel and get off at Jean-Talon station. When you come out of the station, head west, and if you don't know which way is west, just see which way all the people with the grocery bags are coming from. There are also green signs that read Marché Jean-Talon.
Jean-Talon Market hours:
Monday to Wednesday: 8: 00 am to 6:00 pm
Thursday and Friday: 8: 00 am to 8:00 pm
Saturday: 8:00 am to 6 pm
Sunday : 8: 00 am to 5:00 pm
