Nestled in a valley between wooded hills, this peaceful village is a gateway to the Vosges. During the First World War, it was close to the front, which is still visible in the area via bunkers, trenches and memorials. Today, Ban-de-Laveline is a popular base for hikers and cyclists, with routes to the Col d’Hermanpaire, the Spitzemberg and the nature reserve around the Tête de Raves. In the village itself, you will find a sober Église Saint-Laurent, a classic Monument aux Morts, and a peaceful atmosphere that invites you to explore.

A small, enchanting artificial waterfall. It's accompanied by a gazebo, a perfect place to take a break during a hike. Below, there's an old fish farm. The whole area dates back to the early 20th century, a time when there was a desire to encourage outdoor activities in nature. However, the rock is believed to be a Celtic remnant, perhaps even related to Druidic practices.
