Part of my family lives in the Vosges mountains, so the Vosges forest is a big part of my childhood. It's my own personal madeleine de Proust… and I'm very happy to talk to you about it today.

For me, the Vosges forestIt's the quintessential image of fir trees stretching as far as the eye can see, these large, almost bluish conifers, and that very particular smell of sap that remains in the memory.

When Musher comes back from her walk in the forest, she smells wonderfully of a wood dog. I love her scent… Anyway, now that I've introduced you to some lovely hikes to discover in the area, let me explain why Vittel is a perfect destination for your dog and your whole family.
