Provins

 

Provins is known for its medieval fortifications, such as the Tour César (the Caesar Tower) and well-preserved city walls.

 

Provins was home to one of the Champagne fairs that were crucial to the medieval European economy, when the city was under the protection of Counts of Champagne.

 

Provins became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.
