Fontaine des Carmes

Highlight • Historical Site

A symbolic place forever marked by the First World War 1914-1918. The German army built a multitude of them, they are hidden all over this beautiful forest.

Saint-Mihiel Abbey Church

Highlight • Religious Site

This former church and abbey has beautiful stained glass windows. It was built at the time of the Merovingian kings and has since been destroyed and rebuilt many times.

It is one of the jewels of this small town.
