History
 In 56 BC, the Romans conquered Champagne, started to cultivate grapes for the
production of wine and transformed villages into prosperous trading hubs. 
 Throughout the Middle Ages, Champagne was famous for the great fairs held in its
cities, where merchants from the rest of Europe met six times a year
 This commercial prosperity brought with it religious, political and artistic ascendancy,
culminating in the construction of a gothic cathedral in Reims in 1176
