Chez Gus

Troyes


Riding the new wave of retro-style coffee shops, vintage-cool Chez Gus is one of the hippest hang-outs in town for an espresso, smoothie, speciality tea or snacks from sandwiches to pancakes, waffles and croque monsieur. It's a nicely chilled spot to while away an hour or so, with a book exchange and board games.
