The King's Chair is a wooded rocky promontory overlooking the town of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. This natural site offers a beautiful view of the Taintroué valley and owes its name to a local legend that tells of Charlemagne's passage.

This military cemetery at the top of Côte 627 commemorates the fierce battles of 1915 between French and German troops in the Vosges. The necropolis was built between 1921 and 1923 and contains 2,346 graves, 1,382 of which are in ossuaries. At its heart is a monumental memorial – a “phare” or lighthouse – designed by Émile Bachelet, visible from the entire valley. The site was strategically crucial: on 22 June 1915, German troops took the heights, but on 8 and 9 July the French recaptured the terrain.

La Fontenelle (hill 627) forms a remarkable “balcony” overlooking the Rabodeau and Hure valleys. This strategic location, initially held by the French, was captured by the Germans on 22 June 1915. After a perfectly coordinated attack, the French recaptured the site on 8 and 9 July 1915 and held it until the end of the war. La Fontenelle was also the scene of a short mine warfare.

At this viewpoint stands a steel observation capsule from the First World War. It's hard to believe that brutal trench warfare took place here in 1914/15. Today, the landscape offers a peaceful view of meadows and forests.
