Châlons-en-Champagne
La Parenthèse Touristique
IN A FEW WORDS
AS A “CITY OF ART AND HISTORY”, CHÂLONS-EN-CHAMPAGNE INVITES YOU TO STROLL THROUGH ITS PARKS AND GARDENS, CRISS-CROSSED BY NUMEROUS CANALS.
Châlons-en-Champagne boasts a rich and varied natural and architectural heritage. Little destroyed during the war, medieval half-timbered houses sit happily alongside classical mansions and beautiful Art Deco/Art Nouveau facades.
If Châlons is described as a sparkling Venice, it’s because water is everywhere, running through the city and its greenery, disappearing beneath the streets and squares. The best way to discover Châlons and its historic center is undoubtedly to hop aboard a Tourist Office boat and cruise the Mau and Nau rivers. By day, to admire the heritage from an unusual angle, or by night, to be carried away by the magic of the “Metamorph’eau’ses” sound and light shows.
A dynamic, festive city, Châlons boasts an impressive cultural offering. Numerous festivals take place from April to October. Châlons also boasts
