Ville-haute, Medieval hamlet in Provins, France
Stone buildings with tiled roofs line the narrow streets of Ville-haute, creating a network of passages through this elevated section of Provins.
During the Middle Ages, Ville-haute emerged as a central marketplace where merchants gathered to trade textiles, spices, and precious metals from across Europe.
The local inhabitants maintain medieval traditions through regular demonstrations of crafts, including weaving, metalworking, and traditional bread making in stone ovens.
Visitors can reach Ville-haute via direct trains from Paris Gare de l'Est, with the journey taking approximately one hour and twenty minutes.
The underground tunnels beneath Ville-haute, known as souterrains, extend for several kilometers and were used for food storage during medieval times.
