Discover Dun-sur-Meuse
Between the Meuse and the upper town, Dun-sur-Meuse is the natural starting point for exploring the Val Dunois, its heritage, its places of memory and its outdoor activities.
Upper town
Dun-Haut and Dun-le-Chastel
The Dun-le-Chastel site brings together the upper town, the Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Garde church and the remains of the ramparts. From the height, the landscape opens onto the Meuse valley and the roofs of Dun.
The discovery circuit and its visiting conditions are presented by the Monts et Vallées de Meuse Tourist Office.
