Provins

Provins sits beside the Durteint stream in Île-de-France, where a fortified medieval upper town rises above the lower quarters. Once a major centre for the Champagne fairs, the town was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2001 as Provins, Town of Medieval Fairs. The 12th-century Tour César, a distinctive keep, and more than a kilometre of ramparts recall the period when merchants gathered here from across Europe. The Saint-Quiriace collegiate church and old market spaces add texture to streets shaped by trade, defence and religious life.
