Since the 13th century, Marsal, whose name is due to its many salt springs, has been a veritable fortified town that has aroused a great deal of envy. The Porte de France, redesigned by Vauban, now houses the Musée départemental du Sel. After crossing the salt meadows and spanning the Seille, continue your journey towards Haraucourt sur Seille, a typical Lorraine village with beautiful mills and a Mennonite cemetery (an Anabaptist branch that arose in the 17th century as a breakaway from the Protestants of Switzerland). Continue your journey in the Bride woods, a state-owned forest that is several hundred years old and managed by the ONF, with oak and beech trees of remarkable quality.
