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

There are 37 bridges within Paris and dozens more spanning the river outside the city.

FUNICULAR UP! Paris
There is way too much to do and see on Montmartre in Paris than you could do in a day.
The obvious attractions divert you from the many historical sites (quite a few are free), a superb outsider art museum, a working vineyard, a small cemetery (there is another, the tiniest in Paris, but it's only open three days per year), the most unusual views and architectural aspects, the best food and shops, et c. Don't be afraid -- hiring a local or professional to take you around is a good idea, but by checking in advance, noting things, and having a good detailed map, you can do it on your own. You could easily start at sunup here and finish well into the evening.
I was here on Toussaint, November 1, All Saints' Day, to see the tiniest cemetery in Paris, open only three days per year. Closed for lack of space before 1830, it is one of only two still left adjacent to the church, traditional-style. There is a sad mass grave in it from the seige of Paris in 1814.
It's best to have your ticket ready in advance before using this funicular, and remember, always buy a carnet -- a ten-pack -- for the best price. You will need them all and they make a nice tip, too!
Montmartre is extremely romantic and there are lovely views of Paris and the region from it.
