Châlons-en-Champagne (French pronunciation: [ʃɑlɔ̃ ɑ̃ ʃɑ̃paɲ]; lit. 'Châlons-in-Champagne') is a city in the Grand Est region of France. It is the prefecture of the Marne department, despite having only about a quarter of the population of the less central city of Reims. It is also the seat of the Communauté d'agglomération de Châlons-en-Champagne. Formerly called Châlons-sur-Marne (lit. 'Châlons-on-Marne'), the city was officially renamed in 1995. It should not be confused with the Burgundian city of Chalon-sur-Saône.
