The city of Provins recently won the title of “City of Art and History” » and is inscribed on the UNESCO List of Humanity World Heritage. With a unique heritage in France and a series of activities based on the theme of the Middle Ages, the city of Provins takes its visitors back in time, into a world of lords, ladies and knights.
Among the many architectural jewels in the city, there are the famous Tour César, symbol of the town, the collegiate church of Saint Quiriace, Saint Ayoul's church, the ramparts, the fortified gates, the 150 Romanesque and Gothic halls, and nearly 10 km of underground passages!
The oldest buildings, the Grange aux Dîmes!
Lift your eyes to the sky: the lovely vaulted ceilings are supported by a series of crossed arches decorated with etched leaves. You will then meet a fur and wool merchant from Belgium, a spice seller from the Orient, a money changer and even a well-known writer with rolls of parchment beneath his arms...
