Hiking in Aube

The Aube department is located in the southwest of the Grand-Est region. It borders the departments of Marne to the north, Haute-Marne to the east, Côte-d'Or to the southeast, Yonne to the southwest, and Seine-et-Marne to the west.

The department has 140,000 hectares of forests. The Orient Forest Regional Natural Park is one of the first natural parks created in France. It includes Lake Orient, and the Amance and Temple lakes where you can enjoy fishing, water sports, or swimming.

The climatic conditions are moderate, without intense cold or excessive heat, representing a climate that is both continental and oceanic.

Stroll through the historic center streets of Troyes or along the shores of Lake Amance, sleep in a cabin in the heart of the Orient Forest Regional Natural Park, participate in the medieval festivities of the Knights Templar Commandery of Avalleur, get excited in the Nogentais region about an ancient poultry breed, or savor an organic goat cheese from the Pays d’Othe and Armance… These are some of the many facets that Aube in Champagne offers to those who want to discover it by immersing themselves in its territories.

In Aube, people take the time to travel and thrive in an original experience, or even recharge in contact with nature. Opportunities to practice tourism that respects the earth and people come through friendly encounters, soft modes of transport, and a reduced environmental impact.
