You’re now walking through the lovely Jardin du Rocher, a peaceful garden laid out in 1860 on the old city moats. It’s a charming spot, best known for its elegant bandstand—an eye-catching structure with a hint of Oriental flair. This bandstand was a gift to the city in 1889 from a wealthy hosiery manufacturer from Troyes, who had made his fortune in the booming textile industry. Today, it’s listed as a historical monument, and in summer, it comes alive with music during the “Ville en Musiques” festival. If you're here at the right time, you might just catch a concert under the open sky.
