Das Lothringer Kreuz am Lothringen-Denkmal in Charmes

🇫🇷 Charmes (Vosges) - The Monument of Lorraine and a last walk by the Moselle

1 min read

Saturday 30 May 2026, our last morning in the Vosges. We make the most of the Moselle at the L’Île aux 1000 Charmes campsite in the sunshine, before a short walk around the area.

The Monument of Lorraine

Before heading home, a must-stop at the Monument of Lorraine, on the heights above Charmes. A place full of history, crowned by a large Cross of Lorraine, symbol of freedom and of the Resistance. Besides its role as a memorial, the site offers a beautiful view over the region. A Vosges essential.

Practical info

  • Monument of Lorraine: on the heights of Charmes, free access.
  • Charmes is a good base for exploring the Vosges and the Moselle valley.
  • Late May: first swims are possible when the weather plays along.
