* Many [[half-timbered houses]] (mainly of the 16th century) survive in the old town.
* ''[[Hôtel particulier|Hôtels particuliers]]'' (mansions) of the old town
* The [[Hôtel de Ville, Troyes|Hôtel de Ville]] on Place Alexandre Israël, is an urbane example of the ''style Louis XIII''. On the central ''[[corps de logis]],'' which contains the main reception rooms, its cornice is rhythmically broken forward over paired Corinthian columns; these are supported below by strong clustered pilasters. Above the entrance door the statue of [[Louis XIV]] was pulled out of its niche and smashed in 1793, during the [[Reign of Terror]] at the height of the [[French Revolution]]; it was replaced in the nineteenth century with the present ''Helmeted Minerva'' and the device in its original form. It is now rare to see [[Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité|"Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, ou la Mort"]]. In the ''Salle du Conseil'' (Council Chamber) a marble medallion of Louis XIV (1690) by [[François Girardon]], born at Troyes, survived the destruction unscathed.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aube-champagne.com/en/poi/hotel-de-ville-de-troyes-2/|title=Hôtel de Ville de Troyes|publisher=Aube-Champagne|access-date=25 November 2024}}</ref>
