It is located on the left bank of the Meurthe, at number 14 rue Denfert-Rochereau. The Saint-Georges church is the church of La Neuveville-lès-Raon, which merged with Raon-l'Etape in 1947. It was built between 1835 and 1838 according to the plans of the district architect Boucher de Saint-Dié. The church was fitted out in 1894. In 1905 the dome was rebuilt. From 1973 to 1978, major restoration work was carried out, both interior and exterior. Inside, among other things, there is an old statue of Our Lady of Sorrows, a painting of Saint Nicholas, who is also the patron saint of wood-floaters, a painted wooden Christ, and a memorial chapel (1922).

This impressive dam, located in the Vosges, forms an artificial water reservoir together with the Lac de Pierre-Percée. The dam is 69 metres high and 330 metres long, built with a clay core and lined with volcanic rock. It plays an important role in water management and energy production via an underground water connection with the Lac de la Plaine. The surrounding area offers beautiful views and is ideal for hiking along rocky paths, forests and viewpoints over the lake.

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.
