Le Jardin de la Cathédrale

Troyes


Tucked behind the cathedral, this delightful little B&B lodges in a stone-walled 18th-century house, with oodles of history, style and soul-stirring views. Laetitia is your charming host, tending to the beautiful courtyard garden, revealing her flair for design in four suites furnished with bold colours, beams and antiques, and serving delicious breakfasts with fresh pastries, organic jams and homemade yoghurt.
