Plateau de Malzéville

The limestone plateau rises to 384 meters above sea level and extends across 557 hectares, primarily covered with coniferous forests near Nancy.

The plateau served as a military airfield until 1926, where President Raymond Poincaré presented the military aviation flag on November 14, 1915.

The area contains numerous walking paths and geological circuits, allowing visitors to explore the diverse landscapes of the Moselle region.

Two parking areas provide access to the plateau: one from Saint-Max through Malzéville, and another directly from Malzéville near picnic grounds.

During winter, the plateau often remains covered in snow while surrounding plains remain clear, due to its elevated position and strong winds.
