Dugny-sur-Meuse

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Meuse

Rural municipality of the Meuse, in the Grand Est region, Dugny-sur-Meuse takes place about fifty kilometers from Bar-le-Duc. It is also located at the gates of Verdun, a major place in the history of France, not far from Haudainville, Ancemont and Lemmes.

Located on the former site of a Carolingian villa, the town of Dugny-sur-Meuse has had a rich and long history. The one that notably hosted the signing of the Treaty of Verdun in 843 subsequently experienced many upheavals passing from hand to hand over the centuries. Heavily affected by the horrors of the First World War, it was however returned to France in 1919 following the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.

Known for its quarries and lime kilns, this city in eastern France is also appreciated for its monuments and architecture.

Things to see and do

Built in the 12th century, the old Church of the Nativity of the Virgin has not been used since the beginning of the last century. Romano-Rhenish in style, it was used in particular as a field hospital during the First World War. Listed as a Historic Monument, it is in the form of a basilical plan building with three naves separated by square pillars. It is now the subject of a major restoration campaign.

While strolling through the city, you can also discover the new church of the Virgin-and-Child from the end of the 19th century, the chapel of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul from the 1950s or even the cemetery surrounding the old church which today benefits from a classification as a Historic Monument.

Created during the Battle of Verdun in 1916, the National Necropolis of Dugny-sur-Meuse is an opportunity to discover the graves of 1971 soldiers from the First and Second World Wars. A Muslim square and an ossuary have also been built there.
