Where is Paris Vatry Airport?  

Châlons-en-Champagne is capital of the Champagne-Ardenne region, in France. La Champagne, the region where the fine bubbly is made, holds many treasures: a rolling countryside, castles, medieval churches, historic fortifications, villages along winding waterways and vineyards as far as the eye can see.
