Champagne-Ardenne (French pronunciation: [ʃɑ̃paɲaʁdɛn]) is a former administrative region of France, located in the northeast of the country, bordering Belgium.

The LGV Est TGV line also connecting Paris and Strasbourg opened in 2007 and serves Reims with a train station in the commune of Bezannes.

The Vatry International Airport, primarily dedicated to air freight, has a runway 3,650 m (11,980 ft) long.

After a brief period of stabilization in the 1990s, the region's population is now among the fastest "dying" in Europe, with several municipalities losing people at a faster rate than many Eastern European areas, especially in the department of Haute-Marne.

The region is among the oldest in France, has a weak fertility rate, and its immigrant population is minimal compared to the national average.
