From 11 September to 5 October 1738, Françoise de Graffigny paid "Madame de Lorraine" a farewell visit at Commercy, and her letters to François-Antoine Devaux paint a lively picture of life there.
The Fort de Liouville, also known as Fort Stengel, located between the communes of Saint-Agnant-sous-les-Côtes and Saint-Julien-sous-les-Côtes, near the town of Commercy in the Meuse departement of France, is one of the forts built at the end of the 19th century to defend the valley of the Meuse.
