Departure from Hennezel (Vosges)
A handful of stragglers lost in the aftermath of the Grande Armée’s rout are said to have inspired the names of a few local places in this corner of the Vosges, between the fir and deciduous forests, the valley and the ‘Plaine de Moscou’. The hamlets of Moscou and Jérusalem lie along the way, a little nod to geography and history. You can pick up a jar of honey from the Miellerie de Jérusalem or stay in a cabin at the “La Clairière du Verbamont” campsite.
