Provins, Provins

The town of Provins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a dream come true for historians and interested tourists. Ancient relics and artifacts of French antiquity are scattered densely throughout the town. To wander past many amazing medieval monuments and buildings, depart from the Place du Châtel to take a walk in the Ville Haute, the oldest part of town. The Saint Ayoul Church is in this neighborhood, as well as the Tour Cesar (Cesar's Tower), the Saint Quiriace Collegiate Church and the Grange aux Dîmes (Tithe Barn), along with 54 other sites. The office of tourism provides guided tours of the town, and the city welcomes all visitors to the Provins Medieval Festival each summer.
