Grandfontaine, Mountain commune in Bas-Rhin, France.

Located between 390 and 1,008 meters in altitude, Grandfontaine extends across forested slopes near the Donon mountain in northeastern France.

The iron mines of Grandfontaine operated from ancient times through the Middle Ages, reaching their industrial peak between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries.

The settlement carries two names: Grandfontaine in French and Grosbrun in Alsatian, both referring to the abundant water springs in the area.

The commune maintains direct road access via route D392 and connects to major cities through the TER railway line linking Strasbourg to Epinal.

Les Minières, a restored nineteenth-century iron ore mine within Grandfontaine, functions as a museum displaying regional mining equipment and mineral specimens.
