Provins Old Town – A town that walks through time

#July Travel Support Fund An hour and a half by train from Paris, and when the noise of the city faded away, what unfolded before my eyes was like a door into the Middle Ages. That was Provins. The stone walls, narrow and winding alleys, and streets lined with gray tiles and wooden frame houses. The Old Town (La Ville Haute) was not just an old town, but felt like a living stage for a historical drama. The clock tower, the Saint-Quentin Church, and the traces of the market, wells, and watchtowers that remained here and there were not just relics, but allowed me to imagine the lives and rhythms of the people of that time. As I walked along the street, I came across small craft shops and quaint bakeries, and the rose vines on the streets still retained the scent of medieval festivals.
