Troyes

Arrhh, the home of the smelly sausage - the real Troyes Andouillette is hand made, prepared exclusively from the large intestine and stomach of the pig, specially selected and cut in strips along the length. It is seasoned with fresh onions, salt, pepper and placed in its natural casing by hand. Then it is cooked slowly - for 5 hours!... in a well-flavoured stock. Great for all Veggies.
I have passed this place so many times on the autoroute but never stopped till now, and it was worth driving round for over an hour at 1am in the morning to try and find the hotel! A medieval city with great buildings, but really loved this picture showing an ideal "in need of some attention" property
