Located in the heart of the Aube region, Troyes is a city steeped in history, founded in the Celtic era and then developed under the Roman Empire. It experienced a golden age in the Middle Ages thanks to the Champagne fairs and the boom in the textile trade, particularly drapery. The city then became a European economic hub, while also boasting a remarkable religious heritage.

Saint Urban's Cathedral, a jewel of Gothic art, dominates the city skyline with its soaring arches, ornate stained-glass windows, and sculpted façade. Built beginning in 1262 at the initiative of Pope Urban IV, a native of Troyes, it bears witness to the spiritual and artistic importance of the city at that time. Its iconic silhouette is beautifully rendered in this work by Lotza, which captures the light, textures, and unique atmosphere of this sacred place.

Troyes today retains its status as a city of art and history, with a remarkably preserved city center rich in religious buildings, private mansions, museums, and antique bookstores. It is also a popular destination for lovers of medieval history, stained glass, Champagne gastronomy, and shopping in the famous factory outlets.
