Meuse, Department in Grand Est, France
The Meuse department spans 5,574 square kilometers across northeastern France, featuring rolling hills, dense forests, and the Meuse River flowing through its territory.
Created in 1790 during the French Revolution, the Meuse department gained international recognition during World War I with the Battle of Verdun in 1916.
The three arrondissements of Bar-le-Duc, Commercy, and Verdun maintain local traditions through regional festivals, culinary specialties, and historical commemorations throughout the year.
The department connects to major French cities through the A4 motorway and regular train services from its capital Bar-le-Duc to Paris and Strasbourg.
The department produces specialized confectionery called Bar-le-Duc jelly, made from carefully seeded red currants using silver needles, following a tradition from 1344.
