Saint-Mihiel holiday rentals: a cultural getaway in the heart of the Meuse region
Situated in the charming Meuse Valley, just 35 kilometres from Verdun, Saint-Mihiel is nicknamed "Little Florence" for its rich artistic and cultural heritage. This historic town, founded around its Benedictine abbey in the 8th century, invites visitors to discover its exceptional heritage.
Saint-Mihiel: An exceptional historical heritage
Saint-Mihiel owes its development to its abbey, which played a key role in the town's growth and the creation of a veritable artistic village. One of the town's greatest prides is its school of sculpture, led by the famous Ligier Richier, whose works still adorn the region's churches and museums today.
One of the wonders not to be missed is the Benedictine library, which contains rare manuscripts, some dating back to the 8th century. This must-see site bears witness to the importance of the abbey and its intellectual influence throughout Europe.
Saint-Mihiel: between legends, heritage and nature
Wander through the narrow streets of Saint-Mihiel and let yourself be carried away by its legends. According to one of them, seven evil fairies tried to destroy the village, but were defeated by the intervention of the archangel Saint Michel. Since then, the three silver rocks on the town's coat of arms are a reminder of this mystical episode, and the motto "Donec moveantur" (until they move) links the fate of Saint-Mihiel to these mysterious stones.
Saint-Mihiel is not just a historical treasure; the town also benefits from a much-loved natural environment. It is crossed by EuroVelo 19, the famous cycle path that follows the Meuse valley, offering pleasant rides for cycling enthusiasts. The area around the town is full of landscapes ideal for hiking and walking.
Activities for all the family
For those looking for more energetic pursuits, Saint-Mihiel and the surrounding area offer plenty of leisure options. You can relax on the banks of the Meuse, organise a family picnic, or go on an adventure by discovering the paths and cycle routes that criss-cross the region.
