The Contrexéville area

Unspoilt nature

Protected sites
In a zone covering 11,000 hectares, the use of herbicides and pesticides is strictly forbidden thus guaranteeing the purity of the ground water of Contrexéville and Vittel.
Environment-friendly practices replace polluting techniques: ladybird farms fight aphids, the reintroduction of buzzards and sparrowhawks helps to reduce the rodent population.

A haven of peace
Lovers of the great outdoors and relaxing settings will be delighted with the 12 hectares of the lake site. A haven of peace, ideal for fishing, walking, picnics or sports activities, everyone – young and old alike – will love this location.
The outdoor pool, the turfed solarium, the play areas, pedalos and arboretum make this leisure area a very popular and privileged site. New since 2004 is an Adventure park, located between Contrexéville and Vittel.
Contrexéville: natural pleasure.

Proximity to the lakes and the magic of the forest

Around Contrexéville, the 15,000 hectares of state-owned forest offer numerous hiking trails to explore the wealth of this heritage.
Every season, thematic hikes are organised by nature lovers.

The land of the Celts
The forests in this area have always accompanied human activity.
A few miles from Contrexéville, the legendary forest of Darney still harbours Celtic and Gallo-Roman ruins. You will experience truly idyllic moments in the hundred-year old oak woodland.
