Jametz (French pronunciation: [ʒame]) is a small commune in the Meuse department in Grand Est in north-eastern France, near the Belgian border.

Economy

[edit]

Since the 15th century, residents have primarily worked as cattle farmers, cheesemakers, carpenters and leatherworkers. To raise the profile of the locale's products and traditions, many inhabitants have used the placename as a surname (including variations like Jamet and Jamett).
