About the project

A piece of Switzerland in France : the Mill of Villevaux

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The General Council inherited the domain of Villevaux in 2008. The property measures 20 hectars composed of nature and two buildings. Mr Jean Husson, the donor of the site had a wish : find concrete solutions to reinvigorate this exceptional site respecting its environmental qualities and public's vocation. The building and the lands situated at the bottom of the valley are part of a sensitive natural area of the Meurthe-et-Moselle General Council. The beautiful site is also called the "Small Switzerland of Lorraine"!
