LES VERRIERS ET LE MASSIF FORESTIER DE MORIVILLE ROUTE

Thanks to the FRPP for the creation of this hike and for the work done by its teams throughout the year to mark out and maintain these paths. A trail that is mostly in forest, shaded in summer, with many cultural and natural attractions. Distance: 11km, duration approx. 3.5 hours Marking: Red ring Different departures: MORIVILLE Salle de la Louvière or PORTIEUX Verrerie This hiking trail takes you to La Louvière and its path in the Forêt Communale, composed mostly of hundred-year-old pedunculate oaks. At the curve in the path, two Siamese hornbeams invite you to visit the old Charmes-Rambervillers railway line, which was put into service in 1871 and disused in 1943. The platform of the traveller's halt and its period lime trees are the only witnesses of that time. The cavities in the Scots pine forest in the Hichère ravines remind us of an old plaster quarry and in the hillock, a shooting range lined with badger burrows. Rancerot and its stream, partly supplied by the Fontaine Ferrée, its wild boar park (private) and the communal Arboretum with its many species. At the top of the Tranchée du Torlot, the crossing of the magnificent beech forest leads us to the foot of a Cormier (remarkable tree). Below, the reed bed of the Hemmerey stream, filled with irises, and higher up, a young oak-hemlock forest coming from natural regeneration. Leaving the communal forest, stop at the Portieux glassworks on the hillside and its three centuries of history

ENTRE VIGNES ET CLOCHERS ROUTE

Thanks to the FRPP for the creation of this hike and for the work done by its teams throughout the year to mark out and maintain these paths. A panoramic path with magnificent views of the Moselle Valley, the blue line of the Vosges, the Colline de Sion and the Saintois. There are also many cultural and natural attractions to discover: churches, wash houses, fountains, the Canal de l'Est, ponds and the Moselle. This looping trail can start at various places: at the car park of the Les Iles campsite in Charmes, at the car park of the Socourt village hall, on the Place des Chanoinesses in Avrainville or in front of the town hall in Florémont. This circuit is marked with a red disc. From the campsite in Charmes, follow the Canal de l'Est which leads you to the Paquis ponds. Then, cross the D157 and you will arrive in the charming village of Socourt. As you climb the slope of the path leading to the heights of the village, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Moselle valley, the Canal de l'Est and the neighbouring villages. As you keep walking, you will gradually discover the surrounding nature, with its local flora and fauna, which is worth looking at. After passing over the RN 57, continue on your way to Avrainville. As you enter this village, take time to look at the fountains and old farmhouses that make up the village. Then, by taking the rue Eugène Jeandin, you will head towards Florémont, a charming village built into the hillside. Here again, you can discover old buildings, such as the Church of Saint Basle from 1789, but also a presbytery, a stone wash house and a crossroads cross from the 15th century. Finally, by taking the hillside path, you will cross the RN 57 again, to return to the town of Charmes, passing by old spinning mills. You will then return to the starting point.

UXEGNEY FORT
13 km

UXEGNEY FORT

Visit the fort of Uxegney, an exceptional proof of the efficient defensive system of France in 1914. Contemporary with the forts of Verdun, but avoided by the ravages of battle, the fort is representative of the evolution of fortification in the 19th century, from masonry to concrete with artillery under turrets. Built in 1884, the Uxegney fort was an important part of the Place d'Epinal. It served as a point of reference for the fortified system set up by General Séré de Rivières after the 1870 war. This structure, which has been restored by the volunteers of the ARFUPE association, is listed in the supplementary inventory of “Monuments historiques” due to its exceptional state of conservation. Built in masonry and then reinforced in concrete, it remains one of the very rare examples of forts modernised before 1914 that have remained intact. In the maze of underground galleries, you can discover a large number of restored elements (artillery turrets, cannons in situation, barracks, kitchen, electric factory, etc.), as well as the only working example of a Galopin eclipse turret for a 155mm cannon, a gigantic 250-ton mechanism. The Uxegney fort is connected to the Bois l'Abbé fort, located a little more than a kilometre to the east, by a section of the old military railway rebuilt by the association. Payment by credit card possible. Masks will be mandatory for visitors. Sanitary conditions will be those in force on the day of the visit.

BATTANT ECOMUSEUM
13 km

BATTANT ECOMUSEUM

The Battant ecomuseum is a journey into the industrial past, the techniques and know-how, but also and above all, the life of men in the last century. Discover the saga of a site that is over 150 years old with its hydroelectric power station, sawmill and mechanical workshop, still operational! Take a guided tour through the past at the gateway to the Vosges with one of the oldest industrial sites in the area of Charmes, which was the last one to cease operations. The Battant site takes its name from the activity of the drapers, which first trace can be found in 1580, then later by the tanners who used to go to the canal to beat* cloths and skins. For 2 hours, a passionate guide will take you through the heart of the Battant and its origins which are linked to the canal: the turbines. Charmes was the second town in France to have hydroelectricity and two turbines are actually still working before your eyes: the mechanical workshop and a generator. Discover the secrets of these technologies and take a walk behind the scenes of the manufacture of specific types of screws, spearheads of the Dazey-Thiébaut company, but also and above all the safety of yesteryear. Beware of the internal regulations which would make more than one apprentice go pale! The famous engineer Paul DAZEY, who was responsible for the company's development, will amaze you with his ingenuity and his various inventions. During our lively guided tours, full of anecdotes, you will take a trip back in time to learn more about the life of the workers and the history of Charmes. *beating = to give finish to leather or fabric by beating it. Visits on Sundays at 2.30 pm and 4.30 pm from Father's Day weekend to Heritage Days. Visits on request for groups from April to November. Possibility of organising educational workshops for groups: holiday centres, schools, etc.

MUSEUM OF IMAGES
14 km

MUSEUM OF IMAGES

600 m² of exhibition space, conferences, workshops, meetings, a programme for young people... But above all a unique collection where popular imagery meets contemporary art. A cultural and tourist site of unsuspected richness to be discovered or rediscovered without further delay! Push open the doors of the Musée de l'Image and you will be surprised by the abundance and diversity of its collections. Since its creation in 2003, the Museum has housed one of the largest collections of popular printed images in France and abroad: a collection of more than 110,000 images which constitutes a window on the fascinating world of old and contemporary images and their creators and offers an original look at our society. By confronting popular images with other works –contemporary photographs, paintings, but also musical, literary and theatrical works, the Museum gave itself the goal of questioning the connections –humorous, sentimental, sometimes improbable, that exist between the images of yesterday and today. The works on display are presented with explanatory texts for everyone's understanding. The permanent exhibition is designed as an open book that will make you want to turn the pages and look at the images. By offering inventive and varied exhibitions throughout the year, the Musée de l'Image has become not only a reference point for popular imagery but also for the way in which these historical collections can be questioned and understood. For conservation reasons, the images on display are regularly changed, allowing visitors to discover new works each time they visit!
