Wassy

Wassy is a commune in Haute-Marne, located within the Grand Est region of northeastern France. The settlement sits in rolling countryside where the Blaise river flows through the territory.

In March 1562, soldiers under the Duke of Guise attacked a Protestant gathering here, marking the start of France's religious conflicts. This event became a turning point in the struggles between different Christian communities.

The administrative center maintains connections with international partners through its twinning arrangement with Eppingen, a municipality in Baden-Württemberg, Germany since 1967.

The France Services office is located on Rue du Général Leclerc and provides administrative support. Visitors can seek help with family benefits, health insurance matters, and retirement services here.

The river Blaise crosses through the territory, while the canton spans 133.82 square kilometers with elevations ranging from 154 to 224 meters above sea level.
