Marne, Administrative division in Grand Est, France.
The department of Marne extends across northeastern France with five arrondissements including Châlons-en-Champagne, Épernay, Reims, Sainte-Menehould, and Vitry-le-François.
The French Revolution led to the establishment of Marne as a department on March 4, 1790, replacing previous provincial systems for more efficient governance.
The department maintains administrative centers throughout its territory, where residents participate in local governance through municipal councils and regional assemblies.
Residents access governmental services through digital platforms that handle documentation, permits, and administrative procedures across the five arrondissements of the department.
The department shifted from being part of Champagne-Ardenne to joining the larger Grand Est region in 2016, marking a significant administrative reorganization.
