The village of Chooz, which you will have to pronounce "chô", has become famous thanks to the history of French nuclear power, since it was in the 60s that the French and Belgians established the largest experimental nuclear power plant in Europe there. . In this 2st century, nuclear power is still an important part of the history of Chooz with the commissioning of the Nuclear Electricity Production Center (Chooz B – 1450 production units of XNUMX MW each).

But also, 3 statues of Charles Gadenne, which, in the heart of the village, invite you to contemplation.
