Perched at an altitude of 504 metres, in the heart of peaceful undergrowth, La Mothe invites you to retrace a history that is as grandiose as it is tragic. Founded in the 13th century, it became a powerful stronghold in Lorraine in the 16th, and was coveted, besieged... and then completely destroyed by order of Mazarin.
Accompanied by your guide, let yourself be surprised by the remains of this martyred city: each path reveals traces of a vanished town, once one of the most formidable in the kingdom.
To round off your visit, sample some local delicacies in the heart of the remains of the underground gateway...
