The best MTB trails around Rosières-Près-Troyes

Église Saint-Pantaléon (Troyes) This 16th-century church is a hidden gem in the heart of Troyes' old town. From the outside, it looks rather simple, but be sure to step inside: the interior is richly filled with exceptional wooden sculptures and stained-glass windows that beautifully filter the warm, soft light. The statues and saints seem to come to life and offer a beautiful glimpse into religious art in Champagne during the Renaissance. The church is dedicated to Saint Pantaléon, the patron saint of physicians, a fact reflected in some of the details and ornamentation. Thanks to its tranquil atmosphere and refined craftsmanship, it's a place to slow down—perfect for a stroll through Troyes. Tip: Take your time looking up; the wooden sculptures are at various heights and are easy to miss if you walk too quickly.

With the logging, I lost the little path that goes around the woods.

The Montaigu fountain and pond are perfect places to take a break. The place has a picnic table and playground. On the hill of Montaigu, located above the source, was once the castle of the Counts of Champagne. The stronghold was destroyed in the 15th century following the Treaty of Troyes. At the top of the mountain, you have a panoramic view of the plain.

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.

Come to a club to help its members maintain these trails.

As you pass through this wooded area, you will be surrounded by trees. The perfect opportunity to run and take a forest bath.
