Valmy is a commune in the Marne department in north-eastern France.
The town stands on the west flank of the Argonne massif, mid-way between Verdun and Paris, near Vouziers.
Valmy, named after the Battle of Valmy, was the largest three-decker of the French Navy, and the largest tall ship ever built in France.
Valmy was laid down at Brest in 1838 as Formidable and launched in 1847. When she entered service in 1849, she was the largest warship in the world and would remain so until 1853, when the British three-decker Duke Of Wellington (6,071 tons and converted to steam power while on the stocks) entered service, but she would remain the largest sailing three-decker ever built. Unlike most similar ships, that featured a pronounced tumblehome, she had vertical sides; this significantly increased the space available for upper batteries, but reduced the stability of the ship; wooden stabilisers were added under the waterline to address the issue.
She was engaged in the Crimean War, where she proved difficult to manoeuvre and, like other sailing vessels, often had to be towed by steam ships. During the bombardment of Sevastopol, the only time she fired her guns in anger, she was towed by the new steam two-decker Napoléon.
Valmy is both a surname and a given name. Notable people with the name include:

Genres: Drama,Love will be the armor
Protect us from the pain
In our life
In our life
Even when the storm comes,
We'll stand out in the rain,
Watch it slide, live inside.
Here we stand against the world
You and I we rock the lullaby
Make me feel alive, cause the love will never day
Me put you long one,
Shot me down and we're gone,
Ain't no need to worry, don't call 911.
Bang-bang, a lot of bang-bang,
Shoot me with your love and got me feeling no pain.
Kill it, kill it baby with your love even, bang bang,
Baby, do it again.
So shoot me with your bullet, bullet, bullet,
Such a pretty bullet, bullet, bullet,
Go ahead and pull it, pull it, pull it,
Shoot me with your bullet, bullet, bullet.
So shoot me with your bullet, bullet, bullet,
Such a pretty bullet, bullet, bullet,
Go ahead and pull it, pull it, pull it,
Shoot me with your bullet, bullet, bullet.
Even if you're mad at me
And fighting all the time
It's alright, it's alright.
I would risk my sanity
I would lose my mind
For one night, for one night.
Here we stand against the world
You and I we rock the lullaby
Make me feel alive, cause the love will never day
Me put you long one,
Shot me down and we're gone,
Ain't no need to worry, don't call 911.
Bang-bang, a lot of bang-bang,
