Belvedere chemin du roseau

Montenoy, the easternmost commune of the Communauté de Communes du Bassin de Pompey, is part of the canton of Nomeny, and covers a small area of 398 hectares, half of which is forested. The forest overlooks the village on the hills to the north and south. These hills are part of the Grand Couronné de Nancy.
The Côte Savrony, behind you, is the highest point of the Grand Couronné (418m).

The commune lies upstream of the Mauchère valley, a small river that rises in Montenoy and flows into the Moselle at Custines.

Montenoy's population has grown from 160 in the 1950s to around 420 today. The population, which became very working-class with the development of the Pompey steelworks, has changed considerably since its decline and closure in the 1980s. Its inhabitants now work mainly in the Pompey area and in Nancy.
Since 1975, there has been just one farm based in the village. Since 1990, this farm has practiced organic farming.

The path on your left, which crosses the valley from side to side, is on the watershed between the Seille valley (left) and the Moselle valley.
