Mars-la-Tour

Mars-la-Tour (French pronunciation: [maʁs la tuʁ]) is a commune in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in northeastern France.

The Battle of Mars-la-Tour was fought on 16 August 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War near the town of Mars-la-Tour.

The railway line between Longuyon and Pogny reached Mars-la-Tour in 1876, at which time a small train station was built. On 30 August 1919 the station witnessed a minor accident when a freight train collided with a train full of coal, killing one train's conductor. The station no longer exists, however.
