The center of Le Thillot lies in the valley of the Moselle and forms a small but lively village heart. On the Place du 8 Mai stands the 19th-century Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste, surrounded by bakeries, cafés, and local shops. It is a compact, well-organized center with a mix of Vosges architecture, daily amenities, and a quiet village atmosphere. The bakery facade caught my attention.

De Col des Croix is a 679-meter-high mountain pass in the French Vogezen massif, located on the border of the Vosges and Haute-Saône departments. The pass forms an accessible connecting road (the D486) between the northern Le Thillot and the southern Servance. At the top, you will find the well-known Le Chalet Snack du Col des Croix, and the road splits towards the D16 (Route des Forts), the route that continues to the higher Ballon de Servance.

The descent from the Ballon de Servance to the Col des Croix is a technical and quiet route of 10.1 kilometers along the Route des Forts (D16). During this ride, you descend 478 meters with an average gradient of 4.7%. I found it a nice descent.

The end of the climb is somewhat disappointing. There is nothing marked. No photo opportunity. You have a small parking lot, a closed military road, and a picnic spot well hidden under the trees. At the two yellow signs (mainly for hikers) there is the only indication that you are at the Ballon de Servance and at 1158 m. The climb is "cozy". No cars, completely shaded, a few kilometer markers.
