Belvedere on the chemin de faulx in bratte

Located opposite the Tayes lookout on the heights of Faulx, a village with a population of 1,344, "Les Saulières" proved to be a strategic location during the 1939-1945 war. The German army requisitioned workers from the Pompey factory to cut wood and build shelters to store shells. From there, an artillery post aimed at enemy troops deployed in the Moselle department.
The view of the village from the heights is exceptional. On a clear day, you can see not only the Moselle valley, but also the Brabois hill and Mont Saint Michel above Toul.
54% of this 1,720-hectare area is in natural zones and 42% in agricultural zones, including the many apple and mirabelle orchards for which the village is famous. Beech trees have given the village its name: Fagorum Vallis from Fagus, meaning the valley of beech trees.
The village comprises Basse and Haute Faulx: it is located in the valley of the Mauchère, the name of the stream that runs through the village and leaves it with a magnificent waterfall on the west side.
On this slope, at the edge of the Rumont forest, lie 2 springs that supply the village with drinking water: "la Fontaine bénite" and "La Couleuvre".
