Troyes is an interesting city, on the edge of the Champagne Region, not a million miles from Paris.
A picturesque city and coincidentally, if viewed from above, shaped like a champagne cork - unplanned as the design of the city was completed before champagne became as popular as it is, but nevertheless, an interesting coincidence.
The Champagne Region is, unpredictably, where the wonderful drink of champagne is produced.
There are loads and loads of champagne wineries, from small producers in beautiful villages, right through to the major producers like Moet, Mumm, etc who are found in the town of Epernay.
We took a tour through the Mercier champagne winery and it was really quite good.
Enjoy the pics.
