Champagne
Champagne (French pronunciation: sapan) is a historic
province in the northeast of France, now best known for the sparkling white
wine that bears its name.
Formerly ruled by the counts of Champagne, 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.
