Vaux-devant-Damloup (French pronunciation: [vo dəvɑ̃ dɑ̃lu], literally Vaux before Damloup) is a former commune in the Meuse department in Grand Est in north-eastern France. It had a population of 76 (2019).[1] On 1 January 2019, it was merged into the new commune Douaumont-Vaux.[2]
Fort Vaux is partially located within the territory of the commune (the other part is in Damloup).
It was one of the French villages destroyed during World War I. The new village was rebuilt near the old village, which is now a memorial.
