Belvedere chemin de la taye d'amance

Located opposite the Saulières lookout on the heights of Faulx, a village of 1,344 inhabitants, this place is called "Les Tayes" by analogy with an envelope (or sack) that recalls the shape of the commune's 1,720-hectare territory.
The many woods are made up of a variety of tree species, but the vast majority are beech. The beech trees have given their name to the village: Fagorum Vallis from Fagus, meaning the valley of the beech trees.
From here, you can distinguish the Basse and Haute Faulx and admire the Mauchère valley, the name of the stream that runs through the village and leaves it with a magnificent waterfall on the west side.
In the past, a railroad line linked the old Jeandelaincourt tileworks to the Pompey factory. Today, it has become a Voie Verte, a footpath.
Near this viewpoint, in Chavenois, you'll find the entrance to an 800-meter-long tunnel linking the Faulx mine to Lay-Saint-Christophe.
On this slope lie 2 springs that supply the village with drinking water: "la Fontaine des sangliers" and "la source du Merquenard".
