Photographer’s Note
Châlons-en-Champagne is a city in France. It is the capital of both the department of Marne and the region of Champagne-Ardenne, despite being only a quarter the size of the city of Rheims.
Formerly called Châlons-sur-Marne, the city was officially renamed in 1998. It should not be confused with the Burgundian town of Chalon-sur-Saône.
Notre-Dame-en-Vaux church is part of the UNESCO World Heritage (Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France). Built between 1157 and 1217, the collegiate church had a cloister and was a place of pilgrimage in the 12th century, and Museum du Cloitre de Notre-Dame-en-Vaux 12th century.

Hi George,
I cant believe 56 visitors and no comments for this beauty!
Like the architecture, wide view that grabs surroundings as fountain and park, excellent details and colors, nicely chosen point of take.
Great work!
Have a nice weekend,
Mike
