Originally built in the 12th century, this church was rebuilt and expanded in the 18th century. The square Romanesque bell tower was raised in 1712 and topped with a striking onion-shaped dome, built by Polish carpenters at the initiative of Stanislas Leszczyński, King of Poland and Duke of Lorraine. The church was badly damaged during WWI, but was restored in the 1920s. Inside, you will find stained glass windows by Frères Ott (Strasbourg) and murals in friezes. The church has been protected as a historical monument since 1995.

Historic village in the Vosges Ban-de-Sapt is located on a strategic height in the Vosges and was the scene of fierce fighting during WWI, especially around the côte 627. Today it is a peaceful place with a rich culture of remembrance. The Nécropole nationale de la Fontenelle, original trenches, a panoramic table and a rare steel observation capsule from WWI make the village a unique destination for those who want to combine nature and history.

This granite memorial stone marks the exact location of the Western Front on 18 July 1918, during the final Allied offensives of the First World War. It is part of a series of 118 "Bornes du Front" designed by French sculptor and veteran Paul Moreau-Vauthier. Each stone bears a helmet on a laurel wreath and commemorates fierce fighting at that location. The borne at La Fontenelle commemorates the fierce battle in the Vosges, where French and German troops fought each other for a long time.

This mountain pass in the Vosges connects the Fave and Hure valleys and is located between the villages of Le Beulay and La Petite-Fosse. During the First World War, the pass was strategically important: the Bayerische 39. Reserve-Division controlled the passage here with bunkers and trenches, remains of which are still visible today. The area is rich in relics such as machine gun bunkers, barbed wire posts and shelters from 1916. The pass is also popular with cyclists: the climb from Saint-Dié-des-Vosges is 10.6 km long with an average gradient of 2.9%. Along the way, you can enjoy peaceful forests, historical traces and views of the Spitzemberg and the Tête de Raves.

A truly great forest road through a beautiful forest, a bit bumpy in places (April 2025), but good for rolling (towards Mossey) or leisurely climbing (towards Mt Donon). It was fun!
