Troyes

Japanese: トロア（英語表記）Troyes

The capital of the Aube department in northeastern France. The central city of the former Champagne region. It is located in the southeastern part of the Paris Basin, facing the upper reaches of the Seine and the Haute-Seine Canal. Before Julius Caesar's conquest, it was a Celtic town. It is said that Bishop Lupus dissuaded Attila from invading Troyes during the 5th century invasion. A cathedral was built on his tomb and continued to exist until the French Revolution. In the Middle Ages, it became the capital of the County of Champagne, and regular markets were held in June and October, which led to the development of the textile industry. Today, the clothing-related industries, such as hosiery, silk weaving, and women's socks, have declined, and the main industries are manufacturing and service industries, such as machinery and automobile parts. In addition to the art museum and history museum, there are the 13th century St. Urbain Cathedral, the St. Jean Aumarché Cathedral (14th-17th century) where King Henry V of England married Catherine in 1420, the St. Madeleine Church (12th-14th century), and the Cathedral of St. Pierre et St. Paul (13th-17th century) with its beautiful stained glass. The Peace of Troyes during the Hundred Years' War was signed here. Population: 60,400 (2005 estimate).

フランス北東部，オーブ県の県都。旧シャンパーニュ州の中心都市。パリ盆地南東部，セーヌ川上流とオートセーヌ運河に臨む。ユリウス・カエサルの征服以前はケルト人の町であった。5世紀アッチラの侵略に際して，司教ルプスがトロアへの侵攻を思いとどまらせたと伝えられる。その墓跡には聖堂が建てられ，フランス革命の頃まで存続した。中世にはシャンパーニュ伯領の首都となり，6月，10月に定期市が催されて，これが繊維工業の発展をもたらした。今日ではメリヤス，絹織物，婦人靴下などの衣料関連工業は下火になり，機械，自動車部品などの製造業やサービス業が主産業となっている。美術館，歴史博物館のほか，13世紀の聖ユルバン（ユルバヌス）聖堂，1420年にイングランド王ヘンリー5世がカサリンと結婚式を行なった聖ジャンオーマルシェ聖堂（14～17世紀），聖マドレーヌ教会（12～14世紀），美しいステンドグラスをもつサン・ピエール・エ・サン・ポール大聖堂（13～17世紀）などがある。百年戦争中のトロアの和約はここで結ばれた。人口 6万400（2005推計）。
