It takes its name from the Aube River, a tributary of the Seine.
It lies in the southern part of the famous Champagne region (Côte des Bar), where a lot of champagne is produced—actually more than many people think.
Capital: Troyes—a beautiful medieval city with many half-timbered houses and a large outlet mall (McArthurGlen).
Known for: rolling vineyards, beautiful forests, numerous Gothic churches with magnificent stained glass (Aube is sometimes called the stained glass capital of Europe), the Nigloland amusement park, and a peaceful, less touristy rural atmosphere.
Nicknamed among connoisseurs: the "hidden gem" of Champagne, because it is much less crowded than the northern parts around Reims and Épernay.
In short: a diverse, green region with top-quality champagne, beautiful scenery, historic towns, and a surprising amount of culture – ideal for those seeking authentic, tranquil France.
