geography

Arracourt is 270 m above sea level, about twelve kilometers north of the city of Lunéville and about 25 kilometers east of the city of Nancy .

The municipality covers a section of the hill country between the Moselle tributaries Sânon in the south and Seille in the north. The northern border of the municipality marks the watershed between the two rivers. Here, in the forest of Bois du Sentier de Vie , the highest point in the municipality is reached at 335 m above sea level. The south-sloping terrain is drained by the Ruisseau de la Fossatte and Ruisseau de Haute Foucray streams towards Sânon. Except for small parts of the forest in the north and fruit trees around the village, large arable areas dominate the area of ​​the community.

Bathelémont's neighboring municipalities are Arracourt in the north, Bures in the east, Hénaménil in the southeast, Bauzemont in the south, Valhey in the southwest and Athienville in the northwest.

history

Memorial to James B. Gresham, Merle D. Hay and Thomas F. Enright, designed by Louis Majorelle , erected in November 1918 and destroyed by the Germans in October 1940.

The name Bathelémont appears for the first time in the late 11th century in a document from Countess Sophia von Bar .

In the Middle Ages the village was divided into two dominions: one part was subject to the Bishop of Metz , the other part belonged to the Duke of Lorraine . In the 18th century, extensive lands around Bathelémont belonged to the House of Ficquelmont , an old noble family from Lorraine. Bathelémont was only reunited with the French Revolution.

In 1917, the first memorial to Americans who died in World War I was erected on French soil in Bathelémont. It was destroyed during the Second World War and later rebuilt.

A second Lorraine municipality called Bathelémont existed until 1806. It was completely absorbed in Laxou , a suburb of Nancy . No longer recorded on any map today, the reason for the suffix -lès-Bauzemont no longer applies , so the Ministry of the Interior approved the application to rename the municipality from Bathelémont-lès-Bauzemont to Bathelémont on March 22, 2011.
