Belleville trail lookout

This viewpoint is located on the northern slope, at "Le MENIL" Sentier de Belleville.

Situated on the left bank of the Moselle, Marbache covers an area of 10.63 km 2 in the heart of the Massif Forestier de l'Avant-Garde on the Haye limestone plateau, halfway between the Nancy/Pont-à-Mousson urban centers. Marbache lies at the crossroads of the Moselle Valley and the Rupt de la Bréville valley, on the route of the ancient Roman road.

Originally a wine-growing and rural village, urbanization began near the church, before expanding along the main road in the 18th and 19th centuries. Recent extensions are located on sunny hillsides, away from noisy infrastructures.

In 1850, the opening of the railway station ushered in a new era, which was confirmed by the opening of the Iron Mine. Once the mines were mined, the local people went to work in the steel industry.

Today, Marbichon's inhabitants are turning to employment areas such as Pompey, Nancy and Metz to work in the service sector.
