A very beautiful lake, well worth a visit. I first visited it in 1993 on a tour of Lorraine. Mirabelle plums are grown everywhere nearby, and they also produce very good mirabelle plum schnapps.

Founded around 708 by Count Wulfoalde, this Benedictine abbey became an important religious and cultural centre in Lorraine. The abbey was under the protection of Charlemagne and flourished under Abbot Smaragdus in the 9th century. Today, you can still visit the abbey church of Saint-Michel, home to the masterpiece La Pâmoison de la Vierge by Ligier Richier. The 18th-century monastery library houses thousands of ancient works and is one of the most beautiful in the region.

This former abbey church forms the historic heart of Saint-Mihiel. Originally built in the 9th century, it took on its current form during major renovations in the 17th and 18th centuries. Inside, you can admire a magnificent baroque organ (1679–1681), colourful stained glass windows and the masterpiece La Pâmoison de la Vierge by sculptor Ligier Richier. A place where art, history and spirituality come together.

2 rue Notre-Dame 55300 Saint-Mihiel One of the oldest civil buildings in the Meuse, built around 1350 and bought in 1428 by René I, Duke of Bar, later known as “Le bon Roi René”. This stately home with four wings around a courtyard served as a residence and courthouse. The facade is a beautiful example of late medieval architecture. Today it is privately owned, but the exterior can be freely admired.

The Monument aux Morts in Bonnoncourt was made in 1926-1927 by the Italian artist Duilio Donzelli and inaugurated on 30 April 1927. It consists of a marble obelisk from the Lérouville quarries, with an impressive relief of the allegorical figure of Victory, flanked by three soldiers. Symbols such as the Croix de Guerre, olive branches, a sword and the inscription "Pro Patria" reinforce the commemorative value of the monument.

The Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Lacroix-sur-Meuse is a neo-Gothic church built between 1858 and 1862 to replace an older Romanesque chapel from the 12th century. The church was badly damaged during the First World War, as was most of the village, but was rebuilt in the 1920s with the help of Italian workers. The interior decoration and frescoes are the work of Professor Duillio Donzelli and his family, and the stained glass windows were renewed by the Nancy glassblower Janin.
