Champagne Ardenne
Departments: Ardennes, Aube, Marne and Marne-Haute
Champagne-Ardenne is in the northeast of France, bordering Belgium. Famous for its bubbly wine and breathtaking scenery the region is well served by motorways and rail and at only an hour or so from the English Channel it is surprising that the area is still relatively undiscovered by the British. The economy revolves around agriculture and in particular the production of champagne. The capital of the Champagne-Ardenne, Châlons-en-Champagne, is home to the magnificent, gothic Eglise Notre Dame-en-Vaux. The climate is comparable to that of the south of England with perhaps slightly warmer summers.
