Clérey-la-Côte is a commune in the Vosges department in Lorraine in northeastern France. Its inhabitants are called ''Clercycurtiens''. ==Geography== Clérey-la-côte borders the Meuse and Meurthe-et-Moselle. These three departments conjoin nearby at a site called ''le Site de 3 Bornes'' (''three markers''), designated by an ancient stone marker in the forest. It is the only place where three Lorraine departments touch. The village forms part of the canton of Coussey, an area made famous for the birthplace of Joan of Arc, which lies away at Domrémy-la-Pucelle. It is also from Nancy near Colombey-les-Belles, and halfway between Toul and Neufchâteau. Of modest size, the village sits atop a hill with an altitude of 427 meters. Its southern hillside is exposed, offering an expansive panorama of the valley below. The village forms a part of the Côtes de Meuses, the micro-climate of which is similar to that of the Mediterranean side of France. Here one can typically find fauna and flora that exist in a Mediterranean climate. The hill is dominated by the village's communal forest: composed of Oaks, Musclewoods, Maples, Ashes, Cherries, Forest Anemones in the spring, Periwinkles, Lilies of the Valley in May, European Columbines and Solomon's Seals in June. The forest ends and is replaced by calcerous fields whose fauna is rich and varied (grasses, leguminous plants and orchards), principally serving as bovine grazing areas. Mirabelle, Plum, Cherry, and Apple Orchards, as well as some small vineyards cover the village's hill. Many natural springs occur there, one of which is the Saint-Mathieu source. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clérey-la-Côte」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
