Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Weather read at the old town: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest in May, July, August and September; quietest in January, February, March, October and November.

Getting there

Fly into PAR, then drive. The flights under Where to book are to PAR.

The drive from each airport is the road's, from openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT: typical, not a schedule.

How far Troyes is, and what it costs, depends on where you set off from — the months above do not.
