Today my gourmet journey takes me to the glorious medieval center of the city of Troyes in the south of the Champagne region 
Piece to Camera
I can say non to a beer, I can say non to a glass of red but when it comes to Champagne it’s oui! oui! oui!
Voice over
It’s a joy to walk through the stylish city food market. I am soon attracted by the excellent fromagerie Pouillot who has a display of all the regions cheeses including Chaource 
Piece to camera 
It is really a great cheese the Chaource. It is an unpasturised milk so it has all the flavor of the terroir. It is superb!

The Andouillette de Troyes is the most wellknowed speciality and is much appreciated by fearless French gourmets who love gutsy flavours.
Christophe Thierry a local Charcutier makes it by hand with cleaned pork intestines and stomac lining seasoned with a secret mix of incredients and
using a cloth string, he skillfully traps this concocton inside intestines to create a sausage shape. The Andouillette is then slowly cooked overnight in a broth giving it a more appetizing look 
Yannick the chef from the Jardin Gourmand restaurant likes to pan fry andouillette and serves them with apple cider and cream sauce 

It is really delicious, it’s a strong flavor perhaps not for every body but it’s for me when I come to France.

Near the picturesque Cathedrale Alexandre Krumenacker the cellar master of Saint Pierre wine shop makes a unique liqueur made from stones of plums called Prunelle .Piece to camera
It’s a beautiful flavor of almond, alcohol and perhaps a little bit of honey and vanilla
Voice over
Troyes is home of Pascal Caffet one of france’s most decorated patissier and chocolatier. 
Piece to camera taste
 Humm! Piemont noir, that is the name of the chocolate very intense, crunchy with the hazelnut, the caramel is so lovely. Possibly one of the best chocolate I have ever tasted.
Voice over
 His range of éclairs are stunning and many of his cakes including his artistic Paris Troyes have his famous praline as the main ingredient. Pascal’s shop is a gourmet heaven!
