THE HISTORY OF CHAMPIGNY-SUR-MARNE,
the city where we study
Loading...
The History of Champigny dates back from Prehistory. We found traces of the first inhabitants in the Neolithic. At the beginning,there are only plantations : fruit trees,vineyards, cereal field and a forest. It was really the countryside. Today, it is a very urban city but since 2004, we have planted vineyards in order to produce some wine.
In 1553 was created the Pigs Fair which is a very important event for the city and which stands each year, even if there has been no more pigs in Champigny for a long time.
Champigny was the place of a famous battle in 1870 War. This battle lasted 3 days, from 30th November to 2nd December 1870 . This year, in 2020, we are celebrating the 150th anniversary of this battle, but because of the lockdown, the festivities planned by the city council are cancelled.
