Sarrebourg
The old town of Sarrebourg (pop. 14,044) lies on the fringe of the Vosges on the river Sarre (Saar). The Eglise des Cordeliers, a former Franciscan church (13th C., rebuilt in 17th C.) has a stained glass west window by Marc Chagall; it now houses a museum. The Musée du Pays de Sarrebourg has a fine ceramic collection and also displays archeological finds from the surrounding area. On the outskirts of the town is a First World War military cemetery with 13,000 graves.
Outside the town, at St-Ulrich, is a large Gallo-Roman villa.
