The champagne cork - le bouchon de champagne
Altough Troyes does not have any champagne cellars to visit, like the more northern towns of Reims and Épernay, the centre of the town has the form of a champagne cork.
The evolution of the outlines of the city formed by the derivations of the river Seine and the fortifications replaced by boulevards gave the typical form of a champagne cork.
A votre santé!
