Halfway between Remiremont and La Bresse, Vagney is a peaceful Vosges village, ideal for a stop or as a discreet base to discover the region.
The village
Traditional houses, church and its stained glass, the Moselotte river winding through the centre. The atmosphere is that of an ordinary Vosges town, far from mass tourism.
The greenway
One of the major draws: the Vagney-Saulxures-Cornimont greenway, 20 km long, accessible on foot, by bike or on rollers. Practically flat, it follows the Moselotte in a superb forest setting. Perfect for families with children or fans of gentle cycling.
