The Des Grandes Gueules sawmill memorial is an emblematic site in the Vosges, closely linked to the cult film by Robert Enrico, shot in 1966 with Lino Ventura and Bourvil. Through this authentic setting, cinema immortalized the world of Vosges forestry and left a lasting mark on the collective memory. Destroyed by a fire in the 1980s, the sawmill could have disappeared forever. Its reconstruction, then its transformation into a memorial, testifies to the deep attachment of local residents to this heritage and the history it embodies. Today, the site serves as a reminder of the richness of Vosges culture, the importance of the film in the local imagination, and the resilience of a region that has successfully preserved and promoted this symbol.

Petite Cascade de Tendon – Small Waterfall in the Countryside Tucked away in the sparse forest near Tendon lies the "Petite Cascade," the smaller of the two waterfalls in the area. An idyllic spot where the water cascades over rocks into a moss-covered streambed – tranquil, natural, and refreshing. 💧 Ideal for a short rest, a few atmospheric photos, or simply to pause for a moment. 💬 Tip: Worth seeing even when the water level is low – best visited after rain or in spring.

The "Petite Cascade de Tendon" is also very impressive. The water cascades 10 meters into a thunderous drop in two stages.

Beautiful path through the forest. The magical atmosphere is exaggerated by the presence of hundreds of small stone towers, built by hikers.

This hike of about 7 kilometers allows you to discover the two magnificent waterfalls of Tendon in the heart of the Vosges forest. It is preferable to come outside the dry seasons in order to make the most of the waterways.
