Toponymy and History
Up until the 16th century there was a village called Urville (Orvillare) near where the village is today . The village of Crévéchamps was founded in late antiquity by the Gallo-Romans as Crépatus Campus , which could be derived from the Latin crepa = goat .
The field name La Garenne in the south of the municipality was a hunting area, named after the hermitage La Garenne on the southern edge of the municipality (today a farm). The two brothers hermits sheltered there a votive picture with the Titles of Mary Our Lady of Grace . Immediately pilgrims arrived in the hermitage. The statue was brought to the village church, consecrated in 1774, which is still the destination of pilgrims on July 2nd of each year.
The emblem of the Marquis von Neuviller , to whose rule Crévéchamps belonged, is immortalized with the burning mountain in the municipality's coat of arms . The crook symbolizes the former dependence on the Abbey in Flavigny .
