The first bombardment of Nancy took place here, in September 1914. The Germans brought heavy field guns and bombarded the town with 80 shells.

You will find this pond in the heart of the national forest of Amance. Surrounded by trees, you will also have the opportunity to watch birds while running around the pond.

Amance is a small village built around a hill on which a castle was once built. From now on, the bare hill offers a generous view of the neighboring valleys. On either side of the village, the small and large Mont d'Amance (385 and 407 meters above sea level) enjoy equally pleasant views.

The pond of Brin is a bucolic body of water located in the heart of the national forest of Amance. Its fresh waters are perfect for observing the birds that live there. Perhaps you will come across a gray heron there?
