Champigny-sur-Marne ({{IPA|fr|ʃɑ̃piɲi syʁ maʁn|-|Fr-Paris--Champigny-sur-Marne.ogg}}, literally Champigny on Marne) is a major city in the region of Île-de-France, France. It is located {{convert|12.5|km|mi|abbr=on}} from the centre of Paris.
Name
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.
History
The Hôtel de Ville was established as an orphanage operated by the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul and only opened for municipal use in 1931.{{cite web|url=https://www.leparisien.fr/etudiant/sortir/li-hall-de-l-hotel-de-ville-champigny-sur-marne/|title=Hall de l'hôtel de Ville|publisher=Le Parisien|access-date=17 February 2025}}

Transport
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.
