The Pierre d’Appel is a rock located on the Madeleine massif, above Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. It was once used as a gathering place and signal point, hence its name. This promontory offers a beautiful view over the Meurthe valley while being situated in a typical Vosges forest environment, peaceful and steeped in local traditions.

La Pierre d'Appel is located in the Côte de Repy, above Etival Clairefontaine and offers a view of both the Meurthe valley up to St Dié and the Rabodeau valley.
