Hôtel de la Monnaie (Vic-sur-Seille) This remarkable civil building, dating from 1456–1484, is often mistaken for a mint. In reality, it was probably the home of a wealthy money-changer, possibly the d’Hoffelize family. The building is a magnificent example of flamboyant Gothic architecture, with early Renaissance influences. The richly decorated facades and roofs have been protected as historical monuments since 1930.

Despite the conflicts, the saltworks continued to contribute to the city's prosperity in the 18th and 19th centuries. Salt production only stopped in 1973 because the industrial facilities had suffered less from the bombings of 1944 than the rest of the city. Today, the town of 3,300 inhabitants highlights its heritage and history as rich as it is unique. Just like the green surroundings between meadows and ponds, which delight hikers.

The salt mines of Dieuze became a strategic point in the Middle Ages and the town was coveted by the Dukes of Lorraine. Affected by the Thirty Years' War, Dieuze was conquered by the King of France in 1642.

Vic-sur-Seille, which benefits from the label "Small cities of character", is an essential place of passage for itinerants who cross the region. If its old stones undeniably recall the history of the village, its leisure center invites you to rest and relax. The village has all the amenities, from accommodation to restaurants. Take the time to visit the museum which takes its name from Georges de La Tour, born in 1593 in Vic-sur-Seille. The exhibitions offer many indications on the region and its evolution.
