A testament to a new generation of fortifications, the defensive organization of the Villey-Saint-Etienne forest represents the ultimate evolution of this type of fortification. This defense is centered around the Fort du Vieux Canton, the only modern fort in the Toul area, built of reinforced concrete. The Villey-Saint-Etienne forest is a veritable repository of fortifications. Patiently cleared of vegetation, the site now offers a pleasant walk along a marked and signposted trail. Panels and leaflets allow you to explore at your own pace. INDIVIDUAL GUIDED TOURS From March to November: the first Sunday of each month without reservation. Meet at 2 pm in the fort's parking lot, at the entrance to the forest - Follow the signs at the village entrance. Duration: approximately 14 hours 30 minutes. Visits from 14:30 pm. GUIDED GROUP TOURS (minimum 10 people): year-round by reservation - rates and reservations through the Fort du Vieux Canton association - discovery tour (full day) - afternoon discovery tour
