Epinal

Few cities in Grand Est have a history as closely tied to popular printmaking as Épinal. The town lies on the Moselle, where the Vosges begin to rise east of the river valley. Its best-known cultural legacy is the Imagerie d’Épinal, the printworks founded by Jean-Charles Pellerin in 1796; its brightly coloured popular prints gave the French language the expression “image d’Épinal” for an overly idealised representation. The Musée de l’Image explores this graphic tradition, while wooded slopes around town lead toward the Vosges.
