La Pierre d'Appel is located in the Côte de Repy, above Etival Clairefontaine and offers a view of both the Meurthe valley up to St Dié and the Rabodeau valley.

The Pierre d’Appel is a rock located on the Madeleine massif, above Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. It was once used as a gathering place and signal point, hence its name. This promontory offers a beautiful view over the Meurthe valley while being situated in a typical Vosges forest environment, peaceful and steeped in local traditions.

Breathtaking view

National Necropolis

This military cemetery at the top of Côte 627 commemorates the fierce battles of 1915 between French and German troops in the Vosges. The necropolis was built between 1921 and 1923 and contains 2,346 graves, 1,382 of which are in ossuaries. At its heart is a monumental memorial – a “phare” or lighthouse – designed by Émile Bachelet, visible from the entire valley. The site was strategically crucial: on 22 June 1915, German troops took the heights, but on 8 and 9 July the French recaptured the terrain.

La Fontenelle (hill 627) forms a remarkable “balcony” overlooking the Rabodeau and Hure valleys. This strategic location, initially held by the French, was captured by the Germans on 22 June 1915. After a perfectly coordinated attack, the French recaptured the site on 8 and 9 July 1915 and held it until the end of the war. La Fontenelle was also the scene of a short mine warfare.
