This pond was classified as a ‘sensitive natural area’ in 2004. It is located in a forest covering more than 2 hectares created in 1480 to supply the mills and sawmills in the surrounding area. It is open to fishing from early April to 11/11 (trout, roach, tench, carp). The marshy alder forest at the end of the pond is recognised as being of European interest, with sedges forming touradons (sort of large tufts of raised grass). Starting point for a nature trail around the pond, with picnic area. Fishing cards on sale at the Tourist Office. Near ‘La Vigotte’.

At an altitude of 660 m, these pink sandstone blocks overlook the valley and dominate the path below by about ten metres. Between the trees, you can see the Fossard massif, the village of Dommartin-lès-Remiremont. After a contemplative break on the bench, the walker retraces his steps for about twenty metres and takes this time the path that starts on his left. The descent is easy and we arrive under the Tocquaine rock. A true monument of nature that takes on its full scope here. Access by foot from the Chalet des Gardes
