Culture
The Église Saint-Pierre et Sainte-Lucie dates from the 13th century and was extended in the Gothic style in the 15th century. The church contains objects classified as Monuments historiques.
A lavoir on the River Mont near the railway station is of the “au fil de l’eau” type. The parish cemetery is home to the Chapelle Sainte-Lucie, which was rebuilt in the Gothic style in the 19th century and has a crypt beneath the building.
One of Sampigny’s three lavoirs has an impluvium roof, whose opening channels rainwater into the basin. Sampigny also has a gayoir, which was used to care for horses.
Nature
The Clos Poincaré includes flower meadows that serve as reservoirs of biodiversity. Behind the Clos Poincaré, visitors can see Monsieur Poincaré’s orchard and apiary.
The Jardin du Clos Poincaré is a terraced garden with Italian-style parterres, picturesque rocaille structures, and plants from the École de Nancy.
Hiking
The “GS 9 Sainte Lucie – Les Hauts Jours” hiking route begins at Sampigny’s former railway station and runs for 20.8 km through hilly terrain that is half-shaded. It is marked by La Grolle Sammielloise.
The route leads to the aforementioned Chapelle Sainte-Lucie and the Fontaine des Hauts-Jours, which is suitable for a picnic break.
