Monthureux-le-Sec (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃tyʁø lə sɛk] ⓘ) is a commune in the Vosges department in Grand Est in northeastern France.
In French, its inhabitants are called Monthécursiens.
The French name Monthureux-le-Sec ("Monthureux the Dry") distinguishes this town from Monthureux-sur-Saône on the Saône River. Both names derive from Medieval Latin monasteriolum ("little monastery"), as do numerous other locations known as Montreuil and Montreux.
Geography
The commune contains the meeting point of the three drainage basins of the rivers Rhône, Rhine and Meuse.
