Points of interest

Fontaine Stanislas

King of Poland and Duke of Lorraine, Stanislas Leszcynski took the waters at Plombières. During his last visit to the city, he gave a "leaf" to his granddaughters, Mrs Adelaide and Mrs Victoire, daughters of Louis XV, near the Civrac barn. There, he learned that a curious fountain was flowing over this place. He was taken there in a sedan chair and when he saw it, he was delighted and shouted: "It is one of nature's beauties and I want it to bear my name". This source deserved Stanislas' attention; it is remarkable for the site that surrounds it. The rock above it bears 4 inscriptions in honour of Stanislas, including one engraved in 1766, the date of the King's tragic death, and another composed in 1813 by the knight and then Marquis de Boufflers (1738-1815), son of the spiritual Marquise who often came to Plombières alongside the King. On the left, a head is carved on a small rock and reminds us that Berlioz wrote his opera Les Troyens here in 1856 and 1857.

Parc imperial

The Parc Thermal de Plombières, designed for bathers to relax in, is a great place to meet and chat. Its moraines dating back to the Ice Age add a touch of authenticity. The paths wind between a pond and an artificial waterfall, while species such as Japanese larches, horse chestnuts and Virginia tulips are planted here. The park once housed a pet shop, a dairy and a shooting range. Today, it remains a leisure centre with pétanque, mini-golf, hiking, fishing and the Parc des Miniatures, which showcases the monuments of the Grand Est region (admission charge).
