L'ambroise

Arriving in Troyes on a "No plan is the best plan" winging it type of holiday we parked in a quiet side street to get our bearings...Google maps pinpointed this hotel as the closest so we wandered in off the street to be warmly welcomed by Jacqueline. My rusty French scored us a room, parking and breakfast. The room is spacious, typically French and so pretty, with a spacious en suite bathroom. Full of charm and character and a delightful find. On the way into Troyes my partner had a chuckle as he recalled a pink panther Peter Sellers sketch where he was in a French hotel asking for "a room, a rhuum, a rhume" a rhume being a cold in French not a bedroom...when the lovely Jacqueline apologised for her snuffling because "j'ai une rhume" we couldn't help but laugh...luckily my French was good enough to explain our laughter! This place is a little gem, in walking distance of the medieval centre and it's myriad of lanes and crooked houses. Just ask for some guidance on where to eat and Jacqueline will point them out on the map. Shame we are only passing through for one night.
