Champigny-sur-Marne (in French pronounced as /ʃɑ̃piɲi syʁ maʁn/, literally Champigny on Marne) is a major city in the region of Île-de-France, France. It is located 12.5km (07.8miles) from the centre of Paris.
Champigny-sur-Marne was originally called simply Champigny. The name Champigny ultimately comes from Medieval Latin Campaniacum, meaning "estate of Campanius", a Gallo-Roman landowner.
In 1897 the name of the commune officially became Champigny-sur-Marne (meaning "Champigny upon Marne"), in order to distinguish it from other communes of France also called Champigny.
Champigny-sur-Marne is served by Les Boullereaux – Champigny station on Paris RER line E.
Champigny-sur-Marne is also served by Champigny station on Paris RER line A. This station, although administratively located on the territory of the neighboring commune of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, lies immediately across the river Marne from the town center of Champigny-sur-Marne and is thus used by people in Champigny.
The Paris Métro is planned to eventually serve the center of Champigny; the new station will be located along RN4, near the railway bridge known as Pont de la Plage.
