here are five outing ideas for your weekend in Aube

1 Children’s books. The 38^e edition of the Youth Book Fair continues Saturday and Sunday at the Argence space. This year’s theme is “Funny Stories” and it is illustrated by the 37 authors present. Activities and performances are on the program, and there are eight exhibitions to discover. Enough to entertain yourself all day long.

Saturday 12 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday October 13 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Espace Argence, in Troyes. FREE ENTRANCE.

2 Two days of games. This weekend is the 2^e edition of the À l’Aube du jeux festival, which is held in Saint-Julien-les-Villas. A 100% fun event for fans of role-playing games, board games, figurines and even cards. With tournaments, demonstrations and initiations, not forgetting the sale of used games. By the way, whose turn is it to roll the dice?

Saturday 12 from 2 p.m. to midnight and Sunday October 13 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Saint-Julien-les-Villas multipurpose room. Catering and refreshment bar. FREE ENTRANCE.

3 Beware of imitators! On Saturday, we’ll have a good laugh at the Argence space (see above) but also at Troyes Fois Plus, the Trojan café-theatre, with the Imitatueurs, a duo of imitators (re)come to “break” famous people. The two Macrons, Mélenchon, Le Pen fille, Rousseau, Praud and Salamé, without forgetting Maé, Doré and Armanet, are among others who are shamelessly mocked, we are laughing in advance. Thank you “the news” and thank you Imitatueurs!

Saturday October 12 at 8:30 p.m. at Troyes Fois Plus, in Troyes. €20.

4 Red and yellow. It’s a great opportunity to go for a trip to Chavanges since the traditional Onion Fair, 42^e of the name, takes place on Saturday. Yellow or red, the onion can be enjoyed in fritters, pies, soups and puddings, who would have thought it? We can also stock up to face winter, treat guests and cheerfully celebrate the New Year. So don’t forget your net!

Saturday October 12 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. 200 exhibitors. Catering and refreshment bar. Free access.

5 Capri is (not) over. What a pleasure to meet Hervé Vilard, who had stopped in Troyes in the good weather of the “Âge tender et Tête de bois” tour (he was in exceptional form!). This time, it is at the Art Déco in Sainte-Savine that the 78-year-old singer is performing, and it is a singing tour not to be missed. Timeless hits or new songs, Hervé still has some under his belt.

Saturday October 12 at 8:30 p.m. at Art Déco, in Sainte-Savine. €25 and €19.
