Aux Oiseaux de Passage

A 10-minute amble east of central Troyes, on the banks of the Seine, this artsy, family-friendly cafe brims with books, board games, art and mismatched furniture. Come for the relaxed boho vibe, great coffee and homemade cake, Sunday brunch (€20), great-value, season-driven menus (plenty of choice for vegetarians), and chilled music. Look out for the odd gig at weekends.
