Mairie de Laubressel

Laubressel is a village located to the east of the Troyes conurbation, about 12 km from Troyes city center.

The village is spread out over 2 sides of the D 48 departmental road (rue du Haut and rue du Bas). It also includes a hamlet 2.5 km from the village (Champigny).
Between 1800 and 1982, the population declined slowly but steadily. Since then, the population has more than doubled. Urban expansion has mainly taken the form of single-family homes, due to the proximity of the Troyes conurbation.

From the road known as "Le Balcon du Parc" (the canton's highest point at 162 m), Laubressel offers visitors and residents a wide variety of landscapes, with views to the west over the urban area of the Trojan conurbation, to the north, the agricultural and cereal-growing plain known as Champagne chalk, to the south a green landscape with the woods of the Forêt d'Orient known as Champagne humide, and to the east, the hamlet of Champigny on the edge of the Forêt d'Orient.
As a result, a steadily increasing number of gîtes and chambres d'hotes have been set up to accommodate tourists. It also explains why, over the past 20 years, the town's population has grown, mainly made up of young households looking for the quality of life offered by a community on a human scale.

This proximity to the city does not, however, exclude the existence of an active network of associations, helping to preserve Laubressel's identity.
