Fireworks in the Vosges: the best festivities near Domaine des Bans

Gérardmer, Épinal, Remiremont: the department’s major events

The Gérardmer lake offers one of the most breathtaking backdrops for a fireworks display: the colors are reflected on the water, the sound spreads through the fir trees, and the atmosphere is just right every year. Just 15 minutes from the Domaine des Bans, it’s an outing not to be missed.

Épinal, the department’s prefecture, also organizes some great festivities around July 14th, with a program combining fireworks displays and entertainment for the whole family. Remiremont, nestling in the Moselle valley, offers a ball and fireworks display that attracts large numbers of visitors every year.

Other communes, such as Senones and Saint-Maurice, also liven up their local festivals **** with fireworks and open-air concerts. Don’t forget to check the calendar for the commune you’re interested in before your visit.

Beyond the Vosges: Nancy, Metz and Lorraine in the spotlight

For those wishing to broaden their outings, neighboring Lorraine has some wonderful surprises in store. Nancy, with its World Heritage-listed Place Stanislas, hosts a son et lumière show and fireworks display every July 14. Metz, on the banks of the Moselle, also offers a remarkable festive program. The Meurthe-et-Moselle region is more discreet, but just as welcoming, with a host of village festivities starting in mid-July.
