March 4, 2024,Gérardmer / Xonrupt-Longemer - Saut des cuves / Pont des fées / Île Marie-Louise

Beautiful walk on the Perles de Vologne trail.

Le Saut des Cuves is a natural site where the Vologne cascades into successive falls.

There is the Pont des Fées, built in stone in 1763. "A fairy would attract the knights so that they would build the bridge before being released at dawn." Historical monument since 1972.
