Why Aube en Champagne ?

Just 1hr30 from Paris and less than 4hr from Lyon and Strasbourg, Aube is an easy-to-get-to department full of surprises and unexpected discoveries.

Its main city, Troyes, has an unsuspected heritage; notably its many half-timbered houses that mark its identity and even its churches, which include 9000 m² of classified stained-glass windows, which make Aube the European capital of stained-glass.

But the department doesn’t just count on its historical assets, it is investing in the future as witnessed by its all new Conference Centre with state-of-the-art technology. The region is economically and politically committed to ensure that MICE can play a major role. Accordingly, it is deploying the necessary financial and technical resources to develop professional meetings.

Located in Champagne, Aube is home to many champagne wine growers-producers. Its kilometres of vineyards, expanses of green spaces and great lakes give it an extraordinary landscape. Organise your event in Aube and you will deliver a strong message to each participant.

Aube is an eco-responsible destination at the crossroads of prestige, authenticity, the unexpected and technology, so surprise can be at the centre of your meetings.

We offer you the champagne !

A forerunner in the implementation of an environmental labelling system for hotels, with a third of the hotels already labelled, Aube en Champagne Convention Bureau  is now the first congress office certified ISO 20121 for the  responsible management of its events.

This certification rewards the CDT’s approach for more than a year through actions structured around 3 major orientations:

  • Develop an innovative and environmentally friendly range of products and services
  • Federate the tourism players around a common vision
  • Improve the existing range of products and services and promote the destination, themes and events

Today, 10 champagne cellars participate regularly in events in Aube and have implemented incentive activities specially devoted to the MICE clientele.

These wine tourism players are becoming essential to position Aube as a quality business destination. Thanks to the inclusion of “Coteaux, Maisons et Caves de Champagne” on the UNESCO world heritage list, the Champagne heritage and landscapes will benefit from an international aura. Consequently, our region and our Aube department become a sustainable and innovative destination for all event organisers.
