Provins

Provins is a medieval town south-east of Paris, in the Seine-et-Marne department of France, once one of the main towns of the counts of Champagne. It hosted two of the annual Champagne fairs, which made it one of the largest towns in France in the 13th century. Its walls, the Caesar's Tower and underground galleries survive, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
