Property for sale in Aube

Aube takes its name from the river that runs through it, its capital, Troyes, offering one of the most charming medieval towns in France with an accessible, less crowded version of Champagne wine tourism. Good road links keep the department connected to the surrounding region.

Away from the best-known sites, buyers will find the Regional Natural Park of the Forest of the Orient, with its lakes and woodland, and the village of Piney, known for its half-timbered market hall. Aube is also known for its stained glass, holding one of the largest concentrations in Europe at some 9,000 square metres. A temperate climate brings warm summers and cool winters. Property ranges from a townhouse in historic Troyes, a vineyard property along the southern Champagne route or a rural house near the forest and lakes, Aube offers affordability. With medieval charm, wine heritage and good value, it is a department well worth exploring. On the local market, houses in Aube average €1,383/m².
