Magnificent church and a good bakery on the square.

We particularly enjoyed the history of the town, situated on the Meuse River. The beautiful town hall was built in 1847/48 on the site of a monastery in the Italian Renaissance style. In front of the town hall stands the gigantic equestrian statue of Joan of Arc, revered by the French. This cast-iron monument weighs 2.5 tons. Joan is said to have conquered the city. There is also a Joan of Arc Museum in the town.

Saint-Mihiel is picturesquely situated on the Meuse, on the edge of the Lorraine Regional Nature Park. The town grew around a Benedictine abbey, founded in the 8th century, and flourished during the Renaissance. Visit the abbey with its impressive library, the Museum of Sacred Art, and the Saint-Michel church. Wander the charming streets, admire the sculptures of Ligier Richier, and taste local specialities such as the “croquets” and “rochers de Saint-Mihiel”. A town full of history, culture and character.

Saint-Mihiel is one of those towns in the Meuse with a unique charm. You'll discover beautiful Renaissance facades there. Don't miss a detour to the Saint-Étienne church to see its superb Entombment, as well as the former Benedictine abbey, which reveals an impressive 18th-century library.

Commercy is one of the most beautiful detours in France. The town owes its fame to its madeleine (a French church) and its Stanislas Castle. Wandering its streets is a chance to discover 18th-century architecture. A short break here is an opportunity to discover a piece of the history of the Meuse while enjoying a pleasant setting before heading back out onto the surrounding roads and trails.

You wouldn't expect to find such a building in a small town like Commercy. It is a little reminiscent of the Palace of Versailles. Worth seeing!
