The medieval timbered Old Town of Troyes is well worth stopping to explore - and many UK drivers choose to stop here overnight in one of the several dog-friendly hotels Finding a park for the dog is less easy, and there isn't much within walking distance of the town centre.

However, a new pedestrian pathway along the waterside now makes it easy to walk through the old town with the dog very comfortably.

There don't seem to be any restrictions on dogs in shops and cafes in the old town - we saw dogs everywhere!
