An incredible place to live and work

Troyes Champagne Métropole enjoys a prime spot between Lyon and Lille, just 90 minutes (140 km) from Paris. But geography isn’t all it has to offer!

The area is famous for its wines (plenty of AOC vintages and champagne), its greenery (bordering the Foret d’Orient Regional Nature Park and lake), its Gothic churches with listed stained-glass windows, its colourful timber-framed houses, its museums, and its traditional shops and markets. And the city’s many factory outlets are a haven for bargain-hunters.

Troyes Champagne Métropole is also a great place to do business – the perfect combination of time-served industrial expertise and cutting-edge innovation in high value-added sectors.

The area’s student community has ballooned five-fold to 10,400 in the past 20 years, while the Technopole tech cluster is a major source of support for entrepreneurs. That’s why Troyes Champagne Métropole was ranked the eighth best place for business in the 2016 L’Express L’Entreprise list.
