Although now completely enveloped in the Paris Metropolitan Area, the town has conserved its rural character in spite of its direct proximity to the capital, and thus retains its slogan of "Champlan, the meadow of Paris".

Inhabitants of Champlan are known as Champlanais.

Champlan is also known for hosting the headquarter of the Team Five. It has been a very important place during the creation of the cultural movement named "L'hardcoritude", a way of life mixing the consumption of alcohol, music and intense debate.
