The baroque castle of the Dukes of Lorraine is the largest in Eastern France and is considered the "Lorraine Versailles". It was severely damaged by a fire in 2003 and restored in the 2010s after high-profile fundraising campaigns. The castle and park are worth seeing.

Former Duchy of Lorraine. This 13th century castle became an official residence in the 18th century. A nice place to see while running.

More than the shelter itself, it is its location and its history that make it a special place. Beneath its modest appearance, the construction reminds us that Abbé Grégoire, icon of the French Revolution, certainly took this path to go to school in his childhood. Dating from the 1990s, the building was built in this location to take advantage of the site's point of view. The blue line of the Vosges is even visible there. If you are hiking for several days, this is the ideal place to sleep. The shelter being rudimentary, a tarp is however necessary to protect yourself as best as possible from possible bad weather.

As in many municipalities, the church is in the center. In addition to its four-storey tower and its gilded wooden altarpiece, it is distinguished by its pretty little fountain in Vosges sandstone. The ideal place for a stopover and to cool off in summer.
