THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE VOSGES MOUNTAINS

On the Plateau des 1000 étangs, dreams and reality mingle in the wilderness, among still waters and forests. The Echappée des 1000 étangs is about experiencing nature with all your senses, with “pauses paysages” (landscape breaks) combining nature and heritage. A stunning Chapel towers above Ronchamp and its valley. It is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List and was built by Le Corbusier. The Planche des Belles Filles is a challenge for cyclists and is well-known as a major stopover for Le Tour de France. The town of Luxeuil-les-Bains, between architecture and wellness, heritage and thermal waters, will arouse your senses. Fougerolles is the Cherry Country, where kirsch and griottines (sour cherries macerated in kirsch liqueur) will delight you. Last but not least, the La Rochère Glassworks will amaze you with its delicate know-how.
