PLANNING NOTES
How to shape Troyes
01
Use Troyes historic core as the orientation base, then group Troyes historic anchor and Troyes market and food route before crossing to the other side of Troyes.
02
Give Troyes waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan Troyes regional landscape as a deliberate extension from Troyes regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
