The first stop of our tour will be at village Flavigny sur Ozerain. Flavigny will offer to you discover its gates and fortifications, the architecture of its small businesses (tanners, oil manufacturers, millers, tin potters, glassmakers, weavers and wine-makers), the bay windows of its ancient shops, its bourgeois residences with staircase turrets, its streets and narrow alleyways, its squares, factory of anise and much more. Not to mention the peasant and ecclesiastical worlds with Saint-Pierre Benedictine Abbey (719), the parish church of Saint-Genest (11th and 13th centuries), the Ursulines convent (1632), the Dominican novitiate established by Father Lacordaire (1848) in the former Auxois bailiwick as well as the hotel of the Marquis de Souhey, governor of Flavigny, currently the headquarters of the Saint-Joseph-de-Clairval Benedictine abbey. After the visit we will drive to city of Art: Troyes which preserved its magnificent historic centre. The heart of the city in the shape of a champagne cork holds much for walkers to see: timber-framed houses, a typically troyenne architecture, its narrow streets like the famous "ruelle des Chats" (very narrow path), its mansions, and its ten listed churches. The numerous sculptures and the old windows of the various religious buildings are examples of work by the talented master glassmakers and sculptors of important artistic movement the Troyes School. The Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Gothic cathedral is a magnificent example: 1,500 m² of wonderful windows dating from the 13th to the 19th century are a sight to behold! Renowned for its textile tradition dating back to the Middle Ages, Troyes is the capital of factory shops today. Shopping fans and bargain hunters will be in heaven. After that we will return to Dijon.
