Tourist and historical attraction

A lovely little main street through a typical French village.

🏰 **Château de Cons-la-Grandville – A Journey Through the Centuries** The imposing castle of **Cons-la-Grandville**, near the border with Luxembourg, combines Romanesque origins with Renaissance and Baroque architecture. Built on the foundations of a Gallo-Roman villa, it was expanded and remodeled several times from the 11th century onwards. Particularly worth seeing: the Romanesque cloister, the elegant façade, and the magnificent courtyard. 🕰️ The château was the residence of the noble de Cons family, later also a monastery, and has been lovingly restored. Today it is a listed monument and open to visitors. **Tip:** Be sure to visit the cloister – one of the oldest preserved of its kind in Lorraine. Ideal as a stopover on the way between France and Luxembourg.

Nice park to start a walk in peace

Built at the beginning of the 20th century by the Count of Saintignon. After drilling to a depth of 900 m to try to discover a coal deposit, he discovered a spring that would be called the source of the Récollets. The spring gushes at a temperature of 24 °C! The Count then undertook to make Longwy a spa town. To this end, he had a spa resort built with 2 buildings: the thermal baths and the spa hotel, which today houses the Town Hall. In 1920, the Town requested to be classified as a spa resort, but was refused. Over time, the building housed major institutions, such as the Union des Mines Métaux and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. (source: Town of Longwy)
