Hotels in Champagne, France
Champagne is a historic province in the northeast of France, now best known for the sparkling white wine that bears its name. Its western edge is about 100 miles (160 km) east of Paris. The cities of Troyes, Reims, and Épernay are the commercial centers of the area. Most of Champagne is now part of the French administrative region of Champagne-Ardenne, which comprises four departments: Ardennes, Aube, Haute-Marne, and Marne.
The name Champagne comes from the Latin campania and referred to the similarities between the rolling hills of the province and the Italian countryside of Campania located south of Rome.
In the High Middle Ages, the province was famous for the Champagne Fairs.
Champagne has some fantastic open air markets where you can buy fresh produce like crusty bread, pate, cheese and olives.
Champagne has launched thousands of ships, toasted billions of weddings and special occasions, flutes attended countless parties, and shared untold special moments between two people. Champagne is the wine of celebration. No other wine is so associated with joy and festivity. Its meaning and appeal are universal.
When visiting Champagne why not visit some of the wine cellers like G.H. Mumm, Laurent Perrier, Piper Heidsieck, De Castellane, Ruinart, Taittinger and Moet et Chandon just to name a few.
