This part of the Aube department attached to the microregion called Champagne Humide is very forested. The Rumilly forest is a good example. These species are mainly made up of hardwoods such as hornbeams and oaks. For the cyclist, traveling the long fine gravel paths of this forest is a real pleasure. Be careful, however, with the parts that are a little muddy in places.

Troyes is one of the cities in France which has managed to keep its architectural heritage from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance intact. Strolling through the pedestrian streets of this city is a feast for the eyes. The number of half-timbered houses is impressive. We owe this wealth in part to the important fairs of the past and also to the textile industry.
