BELVÉDÈRE RUE DE BELLEVUE

Once a small agricultural and wine-growing village nestled at the confluence of the Meurthe and Moselle rivers, Pompey underwent a radical metamorphosis in 1872, when two Moselle entrepreneurs decided to set up their iron and steel factory in a place where orchards and vineyards were flourishing Until its closure and dismantling in 1986, the plant was the heartbeat of Pompey, which had become a veritable industrial and cosmopolitan city. At its peak, it employed 5,000 people from the town and the surrounding area.
