Constant Verlot was born in Paris in 1876 and died in Senones in 1933. He was a Freemason and Democratic-Republican politician, mayor of Senones (1919-1933) and general councilor of the Vosges. Verlot left a lasting mark on the Vosges. The monument was designed by Eugène Léon L'Hoest and erected in 1934.

The Second Princes' Palace of Salm was built between 1773 and 1778 by Ludwig Karl Otto. After the prince's escape in 1793, it was converted into a cotton mill. After this period, the building fell into disrepair. It has now been restored and is used as a residential building.

In the center of Senones, near the abbey, stands the cast iron fountain "The Jug and the Cherub." The fountain's figures are beautifully crafted.

There is some shade in the abbey grounds. There are several water features, a playground, and an old pavilion.

A spacious rest area with at least four benches and a shelter. A good circular trail starts here, which is described on a sign.

The Senones monastery, an abbey in the Rabodeau valley in the present-day town of Senones in Lorraine, was founded in 661 by Saint Gondelbert, the former Archbishop of Sens. The documentary evidence is incomplete. The Benedictine monk Richer of Senones wrote the story up to 1263. However, his work is disputed. Around two hundred monks are said to have lived in the abbey in the 9th century. The monastery became a fief of the bishops of Metz, and Angilram in particular tried to gain ties. The order's power lay with the diocese of Toul. In 1103, Kunegund, the widow of Matfried of Tincry, and her sons donated goods to the abbey's Tures priory. Her eldest son Gobert became vogt of Senones in 1105. From 1111 to 1126, Hermann II of Salm was vogt. His son Henry I continued his work. Abbot Augustin Calmet became famous through his Bible commentary La Saint Bible en Latin et en françois, avec une commentaire littéral et critique. Prince Konstantin Alexander Joseph of Salm-Salm ordered the secularization of Senones Abbey on February 24, 1790, against which the abbey protested in the chapter on March 1 and filed a complaint with the Imperial Chamber Court in Wetzlar. Nevertheless, the monastery was dissolved in 1793. The bell tower is from the High Middle Ages, the other buildings date from the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1983, the abbey was classified as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abtei_Senones
