Troyes

In spite of an increasing competition of the Factory Outlet sector in France, Troyes remains the uncontested reference both for the consumers and for the professionals of the market.

{{The 3 FOC of Troyes benefit from an extremely vast customer catchment area covering the Northeast quarter of the country, attract 5 million visitors every year.}}

The economic and tourist actors recognize the FOC as a chance for the economic and the tourist development of the territory. {{The indirect economic effects bound to the visits of the customers of the centres are estimated at 50 million euros}} (except turnovers of the centres).
