Marville is a charming village dating back to the 12th century. You can explore its medieval streets, admire its Renaissance architecture, and visit the impressive Saint-Hilaire cemetery, which contains over 40,000 graves from different eras. You can also appreciate the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside, with its rolling hills, vineyards, and forests. Whether you're looking for a short stroll or a challenging adventure, Marville has something for everyone.

What makes Marville special is that some of the houses in the Spanish Renaissance style were built when the city was part of the Spanish Netherlands in the 16th century.

The cemetery, located two kilometers outside Marville, is known for its 'ossuary', a so-called charnel house where more than 40,000 skulls and bones lie.

Stationed in Longuyon in 1954, with an air base in Marville, the Canadians left our region in 1966/1967 following General DE GAULLE's decision in 1966 to no longer belong to NATO. The Canadians, in thanks for the welcome received by the French, proposed to the municipality, chaired by Robert DRAPIER, to build a totem characteristic of the Canadian nation. It was inaugurated on March 11, 1967 by the Indian chief KHUT LA CHA and his squaw "Princess of Peace", in the presence of the mayor and the city council, as well as the 4 colonels who had succeeded each other at the base. After many Indian dances and songs to the accompaniment of a tambourine, the chief gave his headdress to Colonel CHRISTIE, the last base commander, who unveiled the plaque affixed to the Totem's base. As a testimony to the warm welcome given by the French people to all Canadian personnel of the First Wing, Royal Canadian Air Force, who stayed at Marville Base from 1954 to 1967. Worn out over the years, our unusual Totem was replaced thanks to Canadians from the LAHR base in Germany. Renovated and carved from larch, 5.40 meters high, the new brand new totem was re-inaugurated by Pierre MERSCH, Mayor, on June 8, 1986. It is regularly maintained and some parts have been refurbished. weather and pollution would soon have overcome this memory of the past. In 2005, the second Totem, which still retained the original sculptures and designs, had to be replaced. It is now in resin, which should make it more resistant to the test of time.

These forges belonged to the Abbey of Orval. The place is magnificent but the site cannot be visited because it is private property.

Very old cemetery in Saint Hilaire (Jerusalem) with graves from the 16th century to the 21st century. Beautiful church in Romanesque style. Well worth a visit .

The village of Marville is characterized by a particular architecture, namely its Renaissance facades, its fortifications and posterns. In the 16th century, the village experienced a prosperous period. The most beautiful facades of the village are born from the establishment of noble, bourgeois or business families attracted by this prosperity. A remarkable 13th-16th century Gothic church deserves a break with its very rich interior. see https://torgny.be/1677/dans-les-environs-marville/
