Inhabited milieu's challenges The Nancy metropolitan area is part of the Meurthe valley landscape: a major river system at the bottom of the valley, bordered by discontinuous hillsides opening onto wooded plateaus and agricultural plains. Historically, the city of Nancy and the surrounding villages were set up at a distance from the marshes and floodwaters
of the Meurthe, while craftsmen, boatmen and market gardeners settled along the water’s edge. During the industrial revolution, the digging of the canal from the Marne to the Rhin and the arrival of the railroads led to the establishment of major industrial facilities on the banks of the Meurthe.
