location
Lasauvage is, with the exception of the east side of the village, enclosed by the border with France . The village is located in the middle of a circular valley basin formed by the Crosnière (Luxembourgish: Réierbaach) brook and can be reached from Differdange via the CR 176a, a small road that leads in parts through forest. The French neighboring town is called Zounen in Luxembourgish (French Saulnes , German sun ).
Due to a cross-border cooperation between the SIACH, the Luxembourg wastewater association for the Korn basin (for the villages of Differdingen , Petingen , Niederkerschen and Sassenheim ) and the SIAL, the French wastewater association for the Longwy agglomeration , the wastewater from the village of Lasauvage in the neighboring French municipality further treated, since this technical and economical solution is offered due to the shorter distance of only ten kilometers. The waste water from the municipality are the Crosnière fed after conversion measure at a cost of two million euros to the collective collectors of the valley and then the biological wastewater treatment plant of Lexy .
