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

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?
