The Des Grandes Gueules sawmill memorial is an emblematic site in the Vosges, closely linked to the cult film by Robert Enrico, shot in 1966 with Lino Ventura and Bourvil. Through this authentic setting, cinema immortalized the world of Vosges forestry and left a lasting mark on the collective memory. Destroyed by a fire in the 1980s, the sawmill could have disappeared forever. Its reconstruction, then its transformation into a memorial, testifies to the deep attachment of local residents to this heritage and the history it embodies. Today, the site serves as a reminder of the richness of Vosges culture, the importance of the film in the local imagination, and the resilience of a region that has successfully preserved and promoted this symbol.

Here at the quay, there's a beautiful view the length of the lake, several boat rentals, a small free swimming area at the southern end, and a short promenade at the northern end that leads to the lido. Of course, you'll also find restaurants with lake views here.

This is the largest natural lake in the Vosges Mountains. The setting is simply splendid. You can enjoy a wide range of water activities here. Swimming is only permitted in supervised areas. A hiking trail has been developed to encircle the lake.

Yes, I confirm the path "on the other side of the road" is a little, sometimes a lot, technical. The day I did it we were coming out of about fifteen days of rain. It was almost a small stream. What a hassle that day. But even under the grayness the landscape is magnificent.

Path uphill, goes further on the other side of the road with some difficult sections. Leads to VVT/MTB track 3 and 4 around Le Valtin (not the best routes in the region, but scenery is great). Downhill is sweet :)
