Châlons-en-Champagne

A hub of communications networks, the old capital of Champagne has preserved sumptuous middle-class houses and above all remarkable churches from its past : the cathedral, a prime example of Gothic architecture, Notre-Dame-en-Vaux with its collections of statue columns and some kilometres from there especially the superb basilica of Notre-Dame-de-l'Épine [L'Épine#Basilique Notre-Dame-de-l'Épine] , showing the perfection of the Gothic art.
