Presentation of Fleury

Fleury (1,284 inhabitants, 971 ha) is a commune in the Moselle department.

Fleury was located within Saulnois, a region known as a source of salt over many centuries and under the control of the Three Bishoprics province.
Fleury was destroyed in 1352 by the army of the regent of Lorraine.
In September 1944, the church was destroyed by an American bombing raid targeting a German transmitter located in the bell tower. It was rebuilt in 1962. In 2013, the village was twinned with Lussac-les-Églises; and in 2025, with Nauviale.

These are in fact the arms of the duchy of Lorraine from the times of Duke Antoine after 1538. The modern arms of saint-Avold bear the Croix de Guerre 1939-45.
