Champagne Region of France

Champagne is a region of northeastern France, consisting of the Aube, Marne, Haute-Marne, and Ardennes departments. There was always wine in Champagne, but it wasn't until the late 17th century that they became sparkling wines. Champagne is an interesting place to visit.
