Bonne Fontaine Chapel and Spring of Hoste

Highlight • Religious Site

The history of the picturesque Bonne Fontaine chapel in Hoste began in 1799, when a Marian apparition occurred near a spring, in front of a deaf-mute child, who was cured. Other stories of healing quickly appeared and large pilgrimages were organized, in the context of the French Revolution, which did not appreciate these crowd movements. In 1848, a Calvary was erected, then the spring was developed. Finally, at the dawn of the First World War, the chapel was erected to receive the religious fervor aroused by this place steeped in both belief and legend.

Farébersviller Memorial and Stone Bridge

Highlight • Monument

Farébersviller (German: Pfarrebersweiler) is a French commune with 5,316 inhabitants (1 January 2021) in the Moselle department in the Grand Est region (until 2015 Lorraine). It belongs to the arrondissement of Forbach-Boulay-Moselle, the canton of Freyming-Merlebach and the Freyming-Merlebach municipal association founded in 2001. Pfarrebersweiler belonged to the Duchy of Lorraine since 1581, which fell to France according to a treaty after the death of Stanislaus I on 23 February 1766. From 1871, following the defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, Pfarrebersweiler was part of the Imperial Territory of Alsace-Lorraine within the German Empire. After losing the First World War, the German Empire had to cede Alsace-Lorraine to France again under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. After a further 22 years, German troops marched into the town again. Thus, Farébersviller, now Pfarrebersweiler again, was effectively annexed like the rest of Alsace-Lorraine. The town returned to France in 1944 and was given its French name again.
