Châlons-en-Champagne : the “Sparkling Venice” (another champagne tale, of course) warmly welcomes tourists as it should. With its rich heritage and navigable canals, the city also sparkles thanks to cultural events like War on Screen (an international film festival) and Les Furies (a street arts festival). We're sure that the Châlons Fair, a true champagne institution, has also charmed many visitors !
