Dun-sur-Meuse is a French commune located in the department of Meuse, in the Lorraine region.

The upper town was largely destroyed during the First World War.

This bridge over the Meuse is one of the most beautiful monuments of this type in France. There are bronze balustrades on both sides of the bridge, with designs in the center and inscribed plaques.

It reminds French citizens and others, who will cross the bridge for years to come, of the passage of the Meuse.

The crossing of the Meuse by the 5th Division was commanded by General John Pershing.

It was one of the most brilliant military exploits of the American army on French territory.

The Devil's Hood is the name given to a huge stone located at the exit of the village of Milly sur Bradon in the direction of Murvaux on the right, in a property currently owned by the Lehuraux family.
It looks like a parallelepiped that is 3 m high, 1.80 m wide and 0.6 m thick. The part buried in the ground is more than 1.6 m long. It is certain that this mass was placed there by the hand of man, since it is formed of coral limestone like that of the coast of Saint Germain or one of the neighboring coasts.
