3. Marques Avenue
Just south of the center of Troyes in the suburb of St. Julien le Villas, Marques Avenue was the first of the outlet centers in France. It has over 120 boutiques selling around 240 brand names scattered throughout a series of warehouses.
It’s a mix of fashion, sport, children, underwear and lingerie, shoes and accessories. There are local French brands like Le Coq Sportif, Caroll and Comptoir des Cotonniers here as well as names like Hugo Boss, Descamps and Levi’s. It’s very spread out, so will take some time to get around all of it. Check out the names at the Information Center.
