This magnificent organ was sold to the municipality by the Convent of the Cordeliers of Toul on May 22, 1793. It was the restoration carried out by Didier Chanon in 1994 that restored the organ to its exceptional sonorities.

Église Saint-Maurice

The church, which is practically square in shape, is a building with thick walls, reinforced by imposing buttresses on the perimeter of the building.
The gable where the main portal is located is adorned only with a small very simple portal above which is an oculus of medium size containing a stained glass window dedicated to Saint-Maurice, a work created by the Atelier STEFF de Domgermain in 1994.

The door and frame are in a very simple style. Above there remains a stone vestige, very deteriorated, which might have rese
