Villerupt

 

Villerupt (9,845 inhabitants, 6.56 km2) takes its name from “Ville” and “Rupt”, which means “Brook” in the Roman language. The locality of Cantebonne in Villerupt is situated 400m above sea level, making it the highest point in the entire Lorraine Pays-Haut region.

The town, which had long been shaped by the iron ore industry, suffered from its abrupt deindustrialization. As a place of hospitality and culture, the open-minded municipality has succeeded in creating a unique identity. The resolutely forward-looking town of Villerupt benefits from an Opération d’Intérêt National and a strategic steering plan (Plan de Pilotage Stratégique). Villerupt is experiencing a true renaissance and is actively participating in the renewal of its region. The upcoming opening of the large “Pôle Culturel de Micheville”, in the centre of the Eco Cité at the Micheville site, is part of the project and of national interest. This place, which promotes creative work, live theatre, and new means of communication, will be equipped to entertain with a cinema, and will also host the famous annual Festival du Film Italien de Villerupt.
