Hey there Thunderchief, is that town in a valley like it is on the map?

I'd describe the area as undulating - go to google maps and drop the person icon onto the map onto the intersection of Rue Eisenhower and Voie de la Libertie. If you look along Libertie you can see a dip in the road around Verdun/Koenig before it climbs again. That's what it's like now though, I'd have to check photos of the time to see if that's how it was back then but I don't think something like the main road would be much different in height.
