Verdun, Citadelle?

Re: Guess where?
Nope, not Verdun nor really on the Maginot Line, although it's quite close. The fortifications were constructed, because back then the town was situated next to the frontier with a grudge-holding duke. The church does indeed fly the municipal colours, but it's a bit of a trap. The flag is Holy Roman Empire's black eagle on the yellow background holding the town's coat of arms. I don't think they are recognisable in this particular picture.
Hint: A pretty large river flows nearby, but it's not the Rhine.

Re: Guess where?
If it's a French town with a Holy Roman past it is most likely in the Franche Comté, since that was inherited by Emperor Maximilian I iure uxoris. The grudge holding duke might then be the Duke of Burgundy and the river may be the Rhone or Saône.
EDIT: I forgot, Holy Roman past may as well be Alsace or Lorraine, of course, but since the river is not the Rhine, I think that can be ruled out.

Re: Guess where?
That means the Moselle is a "pretty large river"?

Re: Guess where?
Toul is correct! The river is indeed Moselle, which I should have descriped as "rather", instead of "pretty", but it's still quite chubby, although not as long as his nearby colleagues. The grudge-holding duke was that of Lorraine, whose lands kept getting invaded by Louis XIV.

Re: Guess where?
These are indeed the ruins of the abbey of Jumièges, pic taken by me when I visited it a few weeks ago. Quite a nice region to visit.

A Caravanserai then, though that is close to a trade post.
