The Monument aux Morts in Vandières (Meurthe-et-Moselle) is located on the Place du 11 Novembre, a symbolic location that commemorates the armistice of 1918. The monument is a classic example of French interwar commemorative art and was made by the Union Artistique de Vaucouleurs, a famous foundry specializing in war memorials. The monument bears the inscription: "Honneur aux enfants de Vandières morts pour la France", with which the municipality pays tribute to its inhabitants who died in the service of their country. The names of the fallen are listed alphabetically, as is customary for this type of memorial.

In the heart of Nomeny lie the remains of a medieval castle that was once a strategic stronghold of the bishops of Metz. Built in the 12th century and fortified in the 14th century, the castle had a rich history until it was largely dismantled in the 17th century. Today, a few towers, walls and moats are still visible — silent witnesses to a glorious past.
