Châlons-en-Champagne, the capital of the department of Marne in the Grand Est region, has a rich heritage linked to its medieval and modern history. Old houses, such as those in the Place du Maréchal-Foch, often illustrate civil architecture of the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries, periods of urban development marked by handicrafts, commerce and local institutions. Their preservation reflects the importance attached to the collective memory and visual identity of the city, in a regional context where the traditional building is close to contemporary transformations.
