Troyes

[Vixpy1]

Can anyone recommend a nice hotel/chateau east of Troyes in france please, for a couple of nights.

In fact anywhere in that area can be considered

Thanks

Is a small hotel situated near the cathedral in central Troyes. Absolutely fantastic! Looks like they now have a pool too. Limited secure parking there, best to book this at the same time as booking the hotel. There is street parking there too but tends to get a bit busy at times.

We had a driving holiday a year or so ago and stayed there for a couple of nights, the roads and scenery around there are great. One day we had a trip out to Semur en Auxois and back to Troyes via Chablis, good times.

We stayed here a couple of yrs ago in one of the "Bed Sitting Rooms" stunning and good value. Dinner and breakfast very expensive though, so we walked into town (only a few mins) plenty of bistro type places to choose from.

I stayed at Maison Rhodes last May and it is REALLY REALLY nice! (I think you`ll blag some champagne if you say that you heard about them through Authentic Hotels)

I thought Troyes was a bit weird, some of it was SOOOO oldy quaint that it didn`t look real (but of course it was) but some of it was AWFUL and resembled a British "new town" complete with oikey looking types!!!!!!

Your right, a lot of places like this though.

Our room was MASSIVE too! room opposite the top of some amazing wooden stairs, huge bedroom with another (slightly odd) room for sitting in with a huge toilet and seperate bathroom off that and a view of the internal courtyard.

Sound like our's



Up some stairs off the courtyard. (parking was crap though)

Yeah, I parked in the narrow street outside the front door, did seem safe but not ideal.

I understand they do change the sheets, just don't let me catch you in my bed again.

It was warm so breakfast was served in the coutyard. However it seemed expensive for what it was so we walked into the old town and found a charming patisserie to start the day.

I think you did the right thing, that`s not to detract from the hotel though, I`d stay again!

spent a very drunken few days there back in 1991 , I wonder if the nightclub next to the station is still there, the speciality of the house was flaming green genies an awful way to get very drunk very quick , and there were some other attractions as I remember!
