Flying in Troyes: the local context

Prefecture of the Aube, Troyes has a historic centre shaped like a champagne cork, exceptional for its density of 16th- and 17th-century half-timbered houses, its ten stained-glass churches (the city claims the title of European capital of stained glass) and its cathedral of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul. Flying over the tight old town falls under the specific category as soon as third parties are overflown; Troyes-Barberey aerodrome (LFQB) to the north-west is the other point of attention, as are the nearby Forêt d'Orient lakes, partly classified as a nature reserve.

Historic capital of hosiery, Troyes remains a textile stronghold with its outlet centres (McArthurGlen, Marques Avenue) drawing millions of visitors. Local drone missions: heritage and tourism, real estate, logistics construction along the A5/A26, and imagery of the Côte des Bar vineyards to the south-east.
