history
In the middle of the 19th century, numerous graves were discovered on the Sainte-Barbe plateau between Bainville and Pont-Saint-Vincent, whose additions from the Gallo-Roman culture indicate a long history of settlement in this area.
The Church of St. Martin was built in the 17th century.
From 1878 to 1881 the plateau was on the highly visible spur Sainte-Barbe , the Fort Pélissier as a barrier to the southern hinterland of Nancy built. The fortress, which has been modernized several times, with an attached airfield, served military purposes until 1996, most recently as a training center. A group of enthusiasts bought the fallow site in 1999 with the aim of building an amusement park, which opened as Fort Aventure in May 2005 and welcomed the 30,000th visitor two years later.
