We particularly enjoyed the history of the town, situated on the Meuse River. The beautiful town hall was built in 1847/48 on the site of a monastery in the Italian Renaissance style. In front of the town hall stands the gigantic equestrian statue of Joan of Arc, revered by the French. This cast-iron monument weighs 2.5 tons. Joan is said to have conquered the city. There is also a Joan of Arc Museum in the town.

The fort was built around the existing village of Villey-le-Sec, partly because this strategically located location was also the only water supply in the vicinity at the time, and therefore it was not easy to relocate the residents. The design of the fort was the model for later defensive structures, such as those built in the Maginot Line. The fort was outside of any significant fighting in the world wars, so that although it remained virtually intact, it became increasingly less important strategically. It was therefore no longer maintained after the First World War. In the Second World War, many of the metal parts used were dismantled by the Germans. Today, guided tours organized by an association are offered between May and September. [Michelin Guide Vert]

Fort Villey-le-sec, built between 1875 and 1879 in the south-east of Toul on a 345 m high hill, represents a unique ensemble in the fortifications of the Serè des Rivières era the hill was excellently suited to observe and combat a possible deployment of enemy troops. Since a wealthy landowner had already resisted expropriation during the construction of Fort de Bourlèmont and the location of Bourlèmont had to be shifted as a result, the French military also feared fierce resistance in the case of Villey-le-sec. In general, expropriation procedures could be carried out expeditiously when required by national security and when the land was vacant. But here it was a complete village with church and cemetery, which made things considerably more difficult. And so it was decided to surround the village with defenses instead of tearing it down.

Even if the turnoff to Nancy on the Moselle cycle path is worth it, you shouldn't miss this loop of the Moselle. From Maron to Toul, the Moselle shows different landscapes. The most beautiful part for me is the swamp through which the bike path leads along a dam. Camping in Villey-le-Sec on the other bank of the Moselle is definitely recommended as a stopover with a tent. Access is via the large lock.

Impressive Gothic cathedral of Toul, which houses one of the largest cloisters in France! It was stripped of its statues during the French Revolution but kept its superb. Also worth seeing: its two cloisters and the adjoining garden, very pleasant for taking a break in the shade.

Vaucouleurs takes its name from this part of the Meuse river, called Val des Couleurs. This Joan of Arc town (dedicated to Joan of Arc) was located a few kilometers from the front during the First World War. Today, it is a charming village with many streams and beautiful forests.
