Gérardmer, Vosges Département, Grand Est, France

Geography | Culture

🇫🇷 Gérardmer is a commune in the Vosges Department, Grand Est, France.

Gérardmer is said to owe its name to Gerard, Duke of Lorraine, who in the 11th century built a tower on the bank of the lake or mer, near which, in 1285, a new town was founded.

Geography Gérardmer is situated at a height of 2,200 feet (670 m) at the eastern end of the small lake, the Lac de Gérardmer among forest-clad mountains. Historically it has been the chief summer resort of the French Vosges and was a centre for excursions, including to the summit of the Hohneck and the Schlucht, which is a mountain pass from France to Germany. Nearer the town is the picturesque defile of Granges, watered by the Vologne, which at one point forms the cascade known as the Saut des Cuves.
