Greenway Along the Plaine Valley

Highlight • Cycleway

Situated in the heart of the Vosges, this dam, together with Lac de la Plaine, forms an important water reservoir. The dam was built to feed Lac de Pierre-Percée via an underground system. The climb up to it is gradual and rewards you with a view of the peaceful Lac de la Plaine. The road along the lake is ideal for a breather, with little traffic and lots of nature. Perfect for a short break or a photo opportunity during your ride.

Église Saint Georges

Highlight • Other

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).
