The Saint Barthélémy church, built in 1779. The current 3 bells date from 1922 and replace those taken by the Germans in 1917. They are named Louise, Pauline and Joséphine[146]. The church of Luvigny houses the statue of Notre-Dame de la Maix[147], a black virgin in painted wood probably dating from the 18th century. It is listed in the inventory of historical monuments. For a very long time, a procession took place on Corpus Christi day: the virgin of la Maix was carried during a procession going to the lake of la Maix, where mass was celebrated.

This impressive dam, located in the Vosges, forms an artificial water reservoir together with the Lac de Pierre-Percée. The dam is 69 metres high and 330 metres long, built with a clay core and lined with volcanic rock. It plays an important role in water management and energy production via an underground water connection with the Lac de la Plaine. The surrounding area offers beautiful views and is ideal for hiking along rocky paths, forests and viewpoints over the lake.

Pierre-Percée is a small mountain village in the east of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department, on the edge of the Vosges Mountains. With fewer than 100 inhabitants, it is one of the smallest communes in the region. Situated on the edge of the Plaine Valley, the village is built at the foot of the ruins of the medieval Château de Pierre-Percée, which once belonged to the Counts of Salm. The village's name refers to a 33-meter-deep well carved into the rock beneath the castle. During the Thirty Years' War, the village, like the castle, was largely destroyed. In the 20th century, Pierre-Percée regained significance with the construction of the EDF reservoir and the creation of a recreation area, which today attracts tourists for hiking, water sports, and nature experiences.
