General presentation
Épinal et Vosges centrales
Images of Epinal, Moselle, forests, nearby lakes, heritage and practical base for the Vosges.
To understand what Epinal and Vosges centrals are, you have to look at Imagery, Moselle and Vosges forests. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, forests, riverscapes and mountain reliefs and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: medium mountain weather. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Imagerie
The imagery of the Epinal plunges into a world of colourful boards, popular scenes, tales, soldiers and printed motifs. The workshops and collections show how these images circulated in French homes; the visit gives a very concrete visual material to the graphic history of the city.
Harbour
Port d'Épinal
The Port of Epinal offers a direct proximity to water and flows, then, as soon as the breeze stabilizes, it invites to contemplation. Space works like a breath between city and river. A walk at dusk highlights the perspectives on the banks and structures of the wharf.
Fortress
Fort d'Uxegney
The fort of Uxegney impresses with its precise location and the readability of its defence works. By following the approaches and then the interior spaces, one understands the strategic role of the place and the space choices made on a large scale. The structural details are best when you install them without any precipitation.
