Champagne, Historical province in northeastern France

The province covers an area of rolling plains and gentle hills between Paris and the Ardennes, spanning multiple modern-day departments of France.

The County of Champagne emerged from Austrasia in the 10th century through the union of Troyes and Meaux under the House of Vermandois.

The medieval Champagne fairs transformed the region into a central trading hub connecting northern European textile merchants with Mediterranean goods suppliers.

The former province now forms part of the Grand Est administrative region, with Troyes serving as its historical capital.

Latin chronicles from the 6th century refer to this region as Campania, meaning Land of Plains, reflecting its geographical characteristics.
