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.

On the one hand, there is a lot to see for those interested in the battlefields of the First World War, and on the other hand, the nature here is very worth seeing, the beautiful sandstone cliffs of a former coast with rock inclusions and much more.

Near the Pierre-Percée lake, the Plaine lake is smaller, less known but just as charming. It also has the advantage of being bordered by a beautiful cycle path. Not the surface we prefer for mountain biking, but a great way to advance in the valley to access the many spots of the Vosges.
