    In Roman times, Châlons-en-Champagne was called Catalaunum or Durocatalaunum and was the capital of the Gallic tribe of the Catalauni and an important city in the Gallia Belgica. Near Châlons, Emperor Aurelian defeated the Gaulish opponent Tetricus in a battle in 274 AD. Saint Memmie preached Christianity here in the second half of the 3rd century and became the first bishop of Châlons. In 451, Châlons may have been the site of the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields, in which Attila's army was defeated by the Visigoths under Theodoric I, who fell, and the Romans under Aëtius.

    We visited the city for a day. We really liked the mixture of half-timbered houses, the cathedrals, the parks and of course the canals. The highlight was the boat tour on Mau and Nau.
