Day Trips from Paris by Train, 5 of 9: Provins Medieval Town


Provins is a walled medieval market town, UNESCO-listed as the only surviving fair town of the Champagne region. Kids can walk the ramparts and fortified gates, climb the 12th-century Cesar Tower, and follow a guide through the underground galleries beneath the streets.
Knights and falconers with birds of prey put on shows at the foot of the walls, and a tourist train takes the hills off tired walkers.
