Little break

We enjoyed a very pleasant little break this week when we took a trip into Troyes with some friends visiting from the UK. It’s such a beautiful city, with plenty for us still to discover, and we seem to find something different every time we go there.

We arrived in Troyes just as lunchtime was beginning, and so headed to the traditionally french bistro of ‘Les Crieurs des vins’. This is a fabulous little restaurant that we’ve visited before, with delicious classical French cuisine and a selection of local beers and wines. After a very relaxing meal, we wandered through the cobbled streets, heading to the recently opened Cité du Vitrail (stained glass museum). This is a beautiful, stylish museum, spread over 4 floors in the gorgeous old building of the ‘hotel-dieu-le-comte’, situated just by the canal. It’s completely new, and has been thoughtfully designed.

I will share more on the museum over the coming few days, as it is so worth a visit.
