Museum of Vauluisant, Troyes, France

You’ll know the building for its twin circular towers, and after seeing the interior you’ll have a bit more perspective about Troyes and the region.

First you have the historical museum, which has curated the marvellous religious paintings, sculpture and stained glass from defunct churches and monasteries around Troyes. There’s also historic furniture and decoration saved from the interiors of wealthy homes that have now been destroyed.

Then you have the Museum of Hosiery: Troyes was the hosiery capital of France from the 1700s up to the 1960s, and there are both primitive wooden looms and sophisticated machines from the industry’s golden age in the 1800s.
