Half-timbered houses in the rue Emile Zola in Troyes
Rue Emile Zola is mainly made up of a row of colourful half-timbered houses dating from the 16th century. These buildings were rebuilt after the violent fire which broke out in the heart of the medieval town, destroying the main quarters of the town in 1524. Although very few buildings from the medieval period remain, this lane has retained this historical aspect and demonstrates an overview of what the town was like at the time of the famous "Champagne Fairs".
