Triathlons in the Aube

Doing a triathlon in the Aube means immersing yourself in a land of legends where Hugues de Payns 👑 founded the Order of the Temple in the 12th century. Imagine yourself swimming in the heart of the Regional Natural Park of the Orient Forest 🌳, a green haven of 70,000 hectares created in 1970 to protect Paris from floods of the Seine. If you opt for a nature run 🌾, you will cross centuries-old oak forests where biodiversity reigns supreme 🪲, with black storks possibly watching you from the corner of their eyes 🌲. It is here that water meets land to offer you a race in the Aube to remember, far from the monotonous asphalt of the metropolises 🏙️. The roads are smooth, the air is pure, and the atmosphere is decidedly friendly 🍻.

If you fear the elevation 📈, rest assured: the Aube is generally kind to your calves, although some bumps in the Côte des Bar will test your power 🪫. It is in this area, around Bar-sur-Aube and Bar-sur-Seine 📍, where you can admire the vineyards producing that world-famous nectar 🤤. Did you know that Renoir, the famous impressionist painter 🎨, spent all his summers in Essoyes? While pedaling, you will understand why the local light inspired him so much ☀️. Your bike might also take you near Brienne-le-Château 🚴, where a certain Napoleon Bonaparte did his military training at the Royal School 🫅. It's the perfect time to launch an attack worthy of the Emperor on the peloton! 🐎

The Lusigny Lake Triathlon in the Aube 🏞️ is THE meeting place for long-distance enthusiasts and the wild setting lovers 🤩. Organized in Lusigny-sur-Barse, this event is a true institution showcasing the wild beauty of the lakes of the Orient Forest 💦. You have the choice between several formats, including a particularly popular L format for its cycling route through the natural park 🌿. It's here where the rising local triathlete Paul Thumereau often excelled ✨, as did many high-level athletes who appreciate the quality of the organization and the clarity of the lake. The atmosphere is electric ⚡️, supported by passionate volunteers who know every corner of the department 🌊.

For the Aube-Troyes-Dienville Triathlon 🏃‍♀️, a change of scenery but just as much fun awaits in Dienville, by the Lake Amance. This triathlon in the Aube offers formats ranging from XS to M, perfect for all profiles 🥰. The swimming part takes place in a basin known for its calm waters 🏊‍♀️, ideal for setting a benchmark time. After the effort, don't forget to taste the Chaource, a soft cheese with a bloomy rind that has been a local pride for centuries 🧀. If you still have energy, take a tour of Troyes to admire its 16th-century half-timbered houses or visit the City of Stained Glass, as the Aube has the largest concentration of ancient stained glass in Europe 💎.

The Aube is waiting for your strides to resonate with the rhythm of the triple effort, so check the calendar quickly and find the event that will make you thrill! 👟
