Jécourt

Jécourt is a commune in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in the Grand Est region of northeastern France. It is located in the canton of Lunéville-1. The village is situated near the Meurthe River and the forests of the region.

The history of Jécourt is closely linked to the surrounding area, which has been inhabited since ancient times. Like many villages in Lorraine, its development was influenced by agriculture and its strategic location. The name "Jécourt" likely derives from a personal name combined with the Latin word "curtis," meaning farm or estate.

The commune's economy has traditionally been based on agriculture. Over time, like many rural French communities, it has seen a diversification of its economic activities, though its character remains largely rural. The local landscape offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking and cycling.

The commune has a few points of interest, including its parish church, which often serves as a central landmark for such villages. While not a major tourist destination, Jécourt offers a glimpse into traditional French rural life. Its proximity to larger towns like Lunéville provides residents with access to broader services and amenities. The population of Jécourt is relatively small, reflecting its status as a rural commune.
