Lying
in central northeastern France, the Champagne area - until 2016 the
Champagne-Ardenne region - is one of the country's
great historic provinces. In past centuries, the regional capital was
the
great city of Rheims - or Reims as it is spelled in French. For
hundreds of years, Rheims, was one of the important market
cities
of central western Europe, and its great gothic cathedral stood head
and shoulders over the low houses of the old city. For ten centuries,
Reims cathedral was the place where almost all the Kings of France were
crowned, in memory of Clovis, the first great king of the Franks, who
was baptised here in 499 AD.The main administrative centre, former capital of the Champagne Ardenne region is the small town of Chalons en Champagne, just south of Rheims. Rheims itself remains the capital of a slightly different Champagne, the sparkling wine that is made exclusively in this region.
In the north of the area, the department of the Ardennes, bordering on southern Belgium, is quite heavily forested. In the centre of the region, the historic "Champagne", meaning just "the countryside", consists of the departments of the Marne and the Aube. This a rich agricultural area, and one of the breadbaskets of France, with vast cornfields stretching as far as the eye can see. It is also - along the hills called La Montagne de Reims - the location of the Champagne vineyards, which mostly lie between Rheims and Epernay. Troyes, capital of the Aube, is another historic city long famous for its textiles.
In the south of Champagne, the department of Haute Marne is very rural, and also reputed to be one of the cheapest areas in France. An area of hills and valleys, small towns and villages, it is very much an example of "la France profonde", or deepest France. With little in the way of tourist infrastructure, it is an area where a gite is often the best, or indeed only option for those wishing to escape from the pressures of city life, and enjoy a few days in this very undisturbed area, where some small towns and villages really do look as if time has passed them by.
