Chez Philippe

Troyes


This is one of the chicest Champagne bars in town, with its lilac walls, cosy living-room feel and quirky scattering of vintage furniture. Black-and-white photos of the 10 vignerons (winegrowers) who supply Champagne from the Côte des Bar region adorn the walls, and the terrace is humming on warm evenings.
