The Collegiate Church of Saint-Léger de Marsal is a former collegiate church located in the French commune of Marsal, in the Moselle department. Originally built in the Romanesque style, it has undergone several significant modifications up to the present day. Dedicated to Saint Léger, the foundation stones of the current church were laid in the 12th century. The building was then in the Germanic tradition with a deep chevet and two oriented chapels, as well as an impressive Westwork, a western massif. The parish church was elevated to the title of collegiate church in 1222 by Abbess Clémence de Neumunster. She then installed a chapter of seven canons there. The collegiate church of Marsal has been united with that of Vic-sur-Seille since the 18th century.

Marsal is a small hamlet with a very salty history: from the Bronze Age until the middle of the 17th century, the village knew how to use its salt water sources to prosper in the salt trade. Today, nothing remains of the saltworks and Marsal today looks like a peaceful village. If you wish, you can organize a guided tour with the Pays du Saulnois Tourist Office on 03 87 01 16 26.

South of Dieuze, the Etang de Lindre belongs to the 134 ponds that make up what is called the country of ponds. Large over six square kilometres, the body of water becomes an Eden for walkers and fishermen during the summer.

On the GR 5, the Villers pond is a water reservoir wedged between the Bois de la Charbonnière and the Bois du Bourlocq. Its level varying with each season, it becomes a natural curiosity that seduces locals and itinerant alike.
