This small village in the Vosges (altitude: 440–870 m) has barely 80 inhabitants, but played a prominent role during the First World War. The western front line ran right through the village, with heavy fighting around the nearby Spitzenberg. For its courageous resistance, La Petite-Fosse was awarded the Croix de Guerre in 1920. Today it is a peaceful place with a view of the surrounding mountains.
