From the river Vezouse, a small canal was dug during the construction of the castle, which runs next to the Parc des petits bosquets. On the other side of the canal, you can park well at the quay. A small footbridge leads across the canal.

The small, publicly accessible priest's garden next to the church was restored in 2005 and has since been a place dedicated to culture. Modern sculptures can also be found here. Concerts are occasionally performed.

The baroque castle of the Dukes of Lorraine is the largest in Eastern France and is considered the "Lorraine Versailles". It was severely damaged by a fire in 2003 and restored in the 2010s after high-profile fundraising campaigns. The castle and park are worth seeing.

The park behind the castle is huge, the entire castle complex covers 21 hectares. As is customary in the Baroque period, it is strictly geometric in the French style and offers many flower beds, ponds, statues, and much more.
