Db Karting

In Saint-Lyé, on the Aube plain, DB Karting sets up 680 metres of outdoor track in the first northwestern belt of Troyes. The site benefits from a rural setting typical of chalky Aube, in an area mixing cereal plains and bocage typical of the Pays d'Othe. It has become a local reference for Troyes locals heading out with friends and for travellers stopping on the A5 between Paris and Dijon.

The 680-metre open-air layout alternates fast sections and technical corners in the open setting typical of the Aube plain. Conditions shift with continental seasons: faster and drier in summer, more demanding on cold winter days. Several kart engine sizes are available depending on driver level, from entry-level models for younger drivers to punchier versions for regulars chasing timed sessions. With sessions starting at €16, the rate stays reasonable for the format on offer. The site stays accessible for family initiation runs and regularly hosts birthday parties, stag and hen parties, and corporate seminars.

Saint-Lyé is ten minutes from Troyes via the N77 and 1h30 from Paris via the A5. The region offers plenty to extend the visit: the historic centre of Troyes and its half-timbered houses, the Marques outlet stores (one of the largest discount brand zones in France), the Forêt d'Orient and its lakes 20 minutes away, or a detour to Provins and its UNESCO-listed medieval ramparts. A solid option for outlet shoppers looking to flesh out their Aube stay.
