Remiremont, Administrative commune in Vosges, France
Description
This commune lies at the confluence of the Moselle and Moselotte rivers in the Vosges department and forms a town with nearly 7,000 residents. The old center stretches along several streets with stone houses and arcaded passages, while newer neighborhoods spread across the surrounding hills.
History
A monastic community arose here in the seventh century under the leadership of Romaric and evolved into an influential abbey for noble canonesses. After the abbey dissolved during the Revolution, the settlement became an ordinary commune in the new French administrative system.
Culture
The name derives from Saint Romaric, who founded a monastery here in the seventh century. Weekly markets under the stone arcades draw locals who buy fresh produce from the surrounding valleys.
Practical
The commune sits roughly 21 kilometers south of Épinal and is easily reached by the main road. The central area suits walking, while the mountain paths around it require sturdy footwear.
Did you know?
The remains of Fort du Parmont sit on a hill above the town and recall the military past after 1871. American troops left this installation only in 1960, after it had served as a garrison for nearly a century.
