Commercy, Summer residence of King Stanislas
Former capital of a sovereign Principality which fell to Charles Henri of Lorraine, Count of Vaudémont, legitimised son of Duke Charles IV of Lorraine.
At the end of the war of succession in Poland, Lorraine and Barrois were ceded for life to Stanislas Leszczynski, deposed king of Poland but also father-in-law of King Louis XV of France. The Dowager Duchess Élisabeth Charlotte of Orléans, widow of Duke Leopold I, obtained the sovereignty of the Principality. She made the Stanislas Château in Commercy her residence until her death in 1744.
The Stanislas Château and its gardens then passed to Stanislas Leszczynski, and are famous for being one of the favourite residences of the ex-King of Poland.

Stenay is a commune in the Meuse department in Lorraine in north-eastern France.
It was one of the last villages to experience fighting during World War I.[1] Stenay was captured on 11 November 1918 by the American 89th Division under General William M. Wright only hours before the Armistice went into effect. The 89th lost 365 men to howitzer fire.[2

The 'official' history of
Stenay is however simple enough… The excellent small guide [1] edited by the
Cercle Saint-Dagobert II tells us: North-West of the forest of Woëvre, on the
right bank of the Meuse, in the midst of a basin watered by this river, on on
the canal of the East, the town was always an important place of war.
