Informations sur le fournisseur
<p>Just <strong>3.5 km northwest of Vaucouleurs</strong> , below the road leading to <strong>Commercy (D964)</strong> , the <strong>Gombervaux</strong> site is revealed in the hollow of a peaceful valley.</p><p> Formerly <strong>a strategic crossing point</strong> between Vaucouleurs and Void, it controlled the roads linking the villages of the castellany, such as <strong>Sauvoy</strong> , <strong>Ugny</strong> or <strong>Ourches</strong> . The site forms a <strong>defensive quadrilateral</strong> , surrounded by <strong>wide water-filled ditches</strong> , a testament to its former military role.</p><p> Alongside it, the <strong>farmyard</strong> , now transformed into a farm, completes this unusual and picturesque ensemble, nestled between <strong>dense forest and rapeseed fields</strong> , in a perfect balance between <strong>nature and medieval heritage</strong> .</p>
