Circuit la Manufacture

Thanks to the Club Vosgien and the walking section of the MJC of Bains-les-Bains for the creation of this hike and for the work done by its teams throughout the year to mark out and maintain these paths. Blue ring marking - Varied trail - At the Rue de la Pavée near the camping area, follow the small marked path. Continue on this path until you cross the Rue des Anciens Moulins. The big building in front of you is an old wire drawing mill. Wire drawing is the process of reduction of the cross-section of a metal wire by mechanical traction on a drawing machine. Factories that specialise in wire drawing are called wire drawing mills. Turn left to continue along Rue des Anciens Moulins. Follow the markings to a small path in the forest. You come to a crossroads, turn right. You will come to another crossroads, turn right again. The road you are taking was the old road used by the inhabitants of Trémonzey to get to work in the factory, the mills, the wire drawing mill... You will arrive at the Moulin au bois, a former nail factory. This metallurgical factory, known as the Moulins-aux-Bois forge in the 16th century, then became a hardware factory (nails) in the 19th century. It definitely closed in 1980. The film "Indigène" by Rachid Bouchared was shot in this area. The film takes place in 1943, when France is trying to free itself from Nazi domination. It follows the journey of four "natives", forgotten soldiers of the 1st French army recruited in Africa. Cross the D434 to continue straight ahead over a bridge. You will walk along the Canal des Vosges and the river Le Côney, then cross a wooden bridge. Continue on this road and you will see the Manufacture on your left, then the beech tree opposite the Châtelet. Take the straight road on the left (possibility of a path through the wood on the left, to be avoided in wet weather). Following the markings, cross the road carefully and go up on the right by a stone path, an old Roman road.

Domaine de la Manufacture Royale

Domaine de la Manufacture Royale

Between forest, canal and river, the Manufacture Royale of Bains is alongside the walking and cycling path. The manufacture Royale was the most important tinware factory in the Kingdom in the 18th century, with an industry born from wood and water? It is one of the best preserved French industrial sites of the 18th century. The history of this industrial site is fabulous. Baron Falatieu, who brought the Manufacture Royale to a peak, left his mark here. Other personalities did the same: Julie Victoire Daubié, the first French baccalaureate female holder, who was born in the Maison du Caissier in 1824, Cavour, the leader of the Italian unification movement, who stayed there in 1839, and the politician Jules Méline. A visit to the park with its century-old trees allows you to discover the dwarf beech, Unesco's tree of the year in 2011, and the rare species that bear witness to the domain’s rich industrial past (Ginko Biloba, Catalpa, Tulip tree). In the charcoal hall, which was used to store charcoal, you can discover the exhibitions that retrace the history of the tinware factory, thanks to the research of Chantal Starck, Remi Ritter, and Anny Thouvenin with the Departmental Archives... The Manufacture Royale has received many awards for the beauty of its park and terraced gardens, and for its chapel and its stained glass windows, made by Nathalie Noirjean and restored with the help of donors and the Fondation du Patrimoine. One of the oldest paternalist industrial sites in Lorraine, turned since then into dwellings, guest houses, gites and rooms in the castle which tell, like the guided tours, this timeless story. Guided tours of the industrial site, its park and its chapel take place on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month from April to October, upon prior registration at the tourist information office. Groups on reservation. Activities, concerts and exhibitions are offered in June, July and September. The site remains open and accessible all year round, and an exhibition is offered free of charge.
