geography

The municipality of Parroy is located at 240 m above sea level, 16 kilometers northeast of Lunéville , about halfway between Nancy and Sarrebourg .

The community area covers a section of the Sânon valley. The Rhine-Marne Canal runs parallel to the Sânon . The southern half of the 17.65 km² large municipal area is part of the approximately 50 km² large contiguous forest of Parroy ( Forêt de Parroy ). The terrain gradually rises to the south and north-east; it reaches the highest point on the southern municipal boundary at 303 m above sea level on the watershed to the catchment area of ​​the Vezouze .

Etang de Parroy

In the west of the municipality is the Étang de Parroy , an almost 30 hectare reservoir that was created when a dam was built when the Rhine-Marne Canal was built. The pond is fed by three streams and gives off excess water to the canal. In summers with less precipitation, large areas of the lake fall dry. The pond is particularly interesting for ornithologists, who set up a station on the west bank in 1997. Numerous breeding birds have been observed on the reed-covered banks, including little bitterns , marsh harriers and purple herons .

Neighboring municipalities of Parroy are Réchicourt-la-Petite in the north, Coincourt in the northeast, Mouacourt in the east, Emberménil in the southeast (point of contact), Laneuveville-aux-Bois in the south, Hénaménil in the west and Bures in the northwest.

history

The three lions in the coat of arms go back to the Seigneurie von Parroy, a knight family that died out in the 16th century. In addition to lands, the Lords of Parroy also owned a number of castles, including in Maxéville , Taintrux , Haudonville , Serres , Spitzemberg and Faucompierre .

During the First World War, Parroy was almost completely destroyed.

On January 1, 1973, the neighboring communities of Coincourt , Mouacourt and Xures were incorporated into Parroy. On January 1, 1987, these incorporations were reversed.
