The Marches of the Meuse refers to the transitional zone centered on the Côtes de Meuse hills in the department of the same name. The landscape is characterized by a succession of steep limestone hills, offering sweeping views of the Woëvre plain to the east and the Meuse valley to the west. These dry slopes support a rare and remarkable flora, notably numerous orchid species, which thrive on the preserved calcareous grasslands. The fauna is rich, with large mammals such as roe deer and wild boar inhabiting the vast deciduous forests. Historically, this region was a strategic area for defense, as evidenced by the forts and remains associated with major conflicts. Traditional buildings, often constructed of limestone, complete this picture of a territory that is at once wild, unspoiled, and steeped in history.
