About this venue
Stade de l’Aube is a well-established football venue in Troyes and the home ground of ESTAC Troyes. First opened in 1924, the stadium acquired its present form through successive expansions and modernisation of its stands. With a capacity of approximately 21,900 all-seated spectators, it is large enough for major fixtures while retaining a compact layout that keeps supporters close to the pitch.
Covered stands, connected corner sections and clear sightlines create an engaging atmosphere during sporting events. Visitors have access to refreshment outlets, sanitary facilities and areas designed for spectators with reduced mobility, while the short distance between the seating and the playing field helps produce a focused sound and viewing experience.
The stadium is located at 42 Avenue Robert Schumann, Troyes, France. Parking areas are available within and around the stadium complex, while bus routes 1 and 7 serve the nearby Europe stop, providing a straightforward walk to the entrances.

Getting around the city is easy with the TCAT bus network, including routes through the centre and towards the main urban districts, while the Navette Cœur de Troyes makes short journeys within the historic centre more convenient. The main rail hub is Gare de Troyes, located close to the city centre, while Aéroport Troyes en Champagne in Barberey-Saint-Sulpice serves business and private aviation. Good road connections and short urban distances make it straightforward to reach Le Cube Troyes, Stade de l’Aube and other event venues by public transport, taxi or car.
Before or after an event, it is worth exploring the historic centre of Troyes, known for its colourful half-timbered houses, narrow cobbled streets and distinctive champagne-cork-shaped layout. The most appealing stops include Ruelle des Chats, Place Maréchal-Foch, the Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Cathedral and the canal-side walks in the Quartier du Canal. This combination of architecture, Champagne-region gastronomy and pleasant pedestrian areas makes Troyes a practical and memorable destination for visitors who want to pair their trip with a concert, match or another event.
