Woippy, Administrative commune in Moselle, France
Woippy is a commune in the Moselle department near Metz, combining residential neighborhoods with industrial zones and transportation infrastructure. The village sits on gently rolling terrain and reflects a blend of rural and urban elements typical of suburban communities.
The commune began as a small rural village and underwent major transformation beginning in the 1970s with large-scale housing projects and railroad facilities. This development phase converted the place from a modest hamlet into a modern suburb with its own infrastructure.
The locals here, called Woippyciens, gather at regular Friday markets to trade goods from the Moselle region. These gatherings serve as social meeting points where neighbors find regional products and handmade items.
The train station connects the place directly to major cities in the Grand Est region and to Metz. Visitors can arrive easily by train or car, as good road connections are available.
The Woippy-Triage rail yard is one of Europe's largest facilities for sorting freight trains. Thousands of freight cars pass through daily, making the place a crucial transportation hub.
