Description

Viewpoint over the heights of Mérelle and the Beillard below.
It was named after Jean-Baptiste Morand, who was born on 8 February 1813 in Gérardmer. He had an exceptional career in the French army. He started out as a soldier in the Belgian War of Independence, during which he took part in the capture of the citadel at Antwerp. He became a captain in 1841. Following the Crimean War, he was awarded the Légion d'Honneur in 1855.
In 1870, the Franco-Prussian war broke out and he came out of retirement to take charge of the Isère Mobile Guard Battalion. He was promoted to Officer of the Legion of Honour.
He then retired to Gérardmer and helped set up the Promenades Committee in 1875. When he died in 1893, he was remembered for his tireless work in creating and marking out footpaths.
In his memory, the Comité des Promenades named this rock after him, and the town named an avenue on the banks of the lake after him.
