Woëvre
The Woëvre is a French landscape in what is now the Grand Est region .
The Woëvre (German: Waberland) is largely in the Meuse department . It extends to the right of the Meuse from the valley of the Chiers in the north to Neufchâteau in the south. In the west it is bounded by the valley of the Meuse, its eastern edge is based on the border with the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle , into which it protrudes especially in the south. The southernmost tip is in the Vosges department .
The neighboring landscapes are the Côtes de Meuse to the left of the Meuse, the Barrois in the south, the Côtes de Moselle in the east and the Belgian Ardennes in the north.
The Woëvre includes the western part of the Lorraine Regional Nature Park ( Parc naturel régional de Lorraine ) and the Lac de Madine .
With the Côtes de Moselle, the Woëvre is the area with the lowest rainfall in this area.
