	Saint-Avold Saint-Avold (; ; Lorraine Franconian: ''Sänt Avuur'') is a commune in the Moselle department in Grand Est in north-eastern France. It is situated twenty-eight miles (45 km) east of Metz, France and seventeen miles (27 km) southwest of Saarbrücken, Germany. History The Saint-Avold area has frequently suffered invasions and since the nineteenth century has been controlled alternately by German and French authorities.

The abbey also suffered bombing damage during World War II, but much of the church has b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
