Le Bonhomme

Few cities in Grand Est have a history as closely tied to a mountain pass between Alsace and Lorraine as Le Bonhomme. Set in the Vosges Mountains, this small commune occupies the upper Weiss valley below the Col du Bonhomme, a 949-metre crossing on the old route between the two historic regions. Forests, high pastures and winding roads define a setting far removed from Alsace’s Rhine plain. The pass lay close to the First World War front, when these ridges formed a contested border zone. Today, Le Bonhomme is well placed for walking, cycling and winter outings in the surrounding mountains.
