コルシューの湖・トップ13

Beautiful lake. Time to relax and enjoy.

A wonderful rocky path right on the lakeshore. Simply beautiful.

A beautiful wooden tower with a narrow spiral staircase, it can accommodate a maximum of four people at a time. During the week and in bad weather, you won't have to wait long.

As already mentioned several times, there can be long waiting times for the climb, as a maximum of 4 people are allowed on the tower. To be honest, I'm used to higher observation towers. This one, with 85 steps, is rather small in my opinion. More information at https://visitgrandest.com/tour-de-merelle

The beautiful chapel is located in the middle of a local recreation area with a volleyball court, kiosk and playgrounds for all ages. There are many free parking spaces and swimming areas on the lake nearby.

Idyllic mountain lake surrounded by dense mixed forests with various paths to walk around. There are two campsites directly on the lake and several bathing areas. The water is fresh and very clear (August 2024) with sandy, shallow entrances. If you like, you will also find a kiosk, ice cream stands, pedal boat rentals, etc. Wonderful to swim in the mountain panorama!

Lake Gérardmer is a lake in the French Vosges near the town of Gérardmer. The lake was created in the Weichselian and originated from a roche moutonnée. It is a mountain lake and is located 600 meters above sea level

Located on the shores of Lake Longemer, the small chapel was built around 1449 by the ladies canonesses of Remiremont to perpetuate the memory of Bilon, officer of Gérard d'Alsace. In 1056 Bilon, who became a hermit, founded an oratory and a cell on a hillock on the left bank of the lake. - After the chapel fell into disrepair, it was rebuilt in 1727 and dedicated to Saint-Florent, Bishop of Strasbourg. In 1830, a safe containing a skeleton and a chain was discovered there. - The chapel became the property of the municipality of Xonrupt-Longemer in 1956. The hill on which she stands at the edge of the lake is called "Butte Bilon".
