La Bresse, Mountain commune in Vosges, France.
La Bresse is a mountain commune in the Vosges region of northeastern France, nestled in the Moselotte River valley at an elevation of approximately 635 meters (2,083 feet). The village sits within a landscape of about 157 square kilometers, characterized by forested hills and a rural setting.
The commune suffered severe destruction from artillery fire in 1944 during World War II, with much of the town center devastated by combat. Residents evacuated during the fighting and remained displaced until French forces arrived to liberate the area.
The municipal council established in 2002 includes children representatives from local schools who participate in community decisions and project planning.
The village is accessible by road through the Vosges region and offers basic services for visitors and residents. The area is suitable for hiking and exploring the forested mountain landscape.
The municipal forest extends across approximately 3,000 hectares, making it the largest communal forest in the Vosges department. This vast woodland ownership shapes the landscape and provides land for forest management and nature activities.
