An essential item on the trail: bring torches or other means of lighting.

Pierre-Percée is a small mountain village in the east of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department, on the edge of the Vosges Mountains. With fewer than 100 inhabitants, it is one of the smallest communes in the region. Situated on the edge of the Plaine Valley, the village is built at the foot of the ruins of the medieval Château de Pierre-Percée, which once belonged to the Counts of Salm. The village's name refers to a 33-meter-deep well carved into the rock beneath the castle. During the Thirty Years' War, the village, like the castle, was largely destroyed. In the 20th century, Pierre-Percée regained significance with the construction of the EDF reservoir and the creation of a recreation area, which today attracts tourists for hiking, water sports, and nature experiences.

This memorial commemorates the dead of the First World War as well as the citizens of Pierre-Percée who died in other wars.

This old road, which already appears on the Cassini map (1760), is part of a network of rolling paths which allow you to cross the Bois de Faux plateau and reach all the villages.

A few years ago I took part in a mountain bike ride that went through this tunnel. The organizers had a very good idea, at regular intervals there was a character disguised with a white cape holding a torch, hello chills. A very good memory!!
