This medieval city, which in its heyday was the 3rd largest town in France, is one of the best preserved sites in the country and has kept intact the memory of its past as the ancient capital of the Counts of Champagne from 1019 to 1284.

Classified as a city of art and history, Provins is listed as a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Provins is less than one hour from Paris.

Provins reached its peak in XIIth and XIIIth centuries, with the Champagne Fairs.These events attracted merchants from all over Europe and Provins thus became the undisputed capital of trade and one of the most powerful cities in the kingdom.
