Landscape units on the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle (54)

The objective of the Departmental Atlas of Landscapes is to propose a shared vision, between the different actors and partners in spatial planning, of what are the landscapes of Meurthe-et-Moselle, and to identify their wealth, their stakes, their dynamics and their prospects of evolution.

1. The plain of the Woëvre: a vast wet agricultural plain, at the foot of the Côtes de Meuse
