Beaux - Arts, Musée Hôtel le Vergeur, Villa
Demoiselle, the ancient college of
the Jesuits and the Planetarium, the Cryptoportique,

TROYES
Troyes has an exceptional density of ancient
religious buildings around the city centre. In
addition, it has a rich panorama of museums,
including the museum of modern art, the
Vauluisant museum (historical museum
of Troyes and of the champagne and hosiery
museum) and the Saint - Loup museum (Fine
arts museum of Troyes).
CHARLEVILLE - MÉZIÈRES
The “capital of puppets” will impress you
with its Italian style ducal square. This
central square of Charleville - Mézières is the
twin sister of the Vosges square in Paris.
Situated in the Mézières district, the charm
of the flamboyant Gothic and the renaissance
style of the Notre - Dame cathedral is
reinforced by the back-streets surrounding it.
The museum of the Ardennes presents
a unique collection, particularly for the
amateur archaeologists and historians. The
Rimbaud museum situated on the island
of the ancient mill of Charleville recalls the
memory of the poet.
On the first Sunday of each month, entry to all
museums is free for everyone. As for the
municipal museums, the entry is always free
for those who are less than 26 years old.
