The Camp de Châlons was situated in the region of Champagne, northeast of Paris. It served as a primary training ground and a strategic assembly point for the French Army during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The camp was expansive, covering thousands of hectares.

These exercises aimed to improve the coordination, readiness, and effectiveness of the French Army. The Camp de Châlons witnessed important military events during the 1900s. For example, in 1904, it hosted a major military exercise attended by Russian and French troops, showcasing the growing alliance between the two countries.
