Geography
editThe village lies on the left bank of the Othain, which forms most of the commune's eastern border.
History
editMarville was a part of the Duchy of Luxembourg until 1659. It was in this year that the first partition of Luxembourg was decided by the European great powers and thus Marville and the surrounding villages became part of the Kingdom of France.
Marville was used as the fictional commune of Saint-Clothilde in the 2002 Bruno Cremer Maigret episode Maigret et le fou de Saint-Clothilde (adapted from Maigret et le fou de Bergerac).
