Anould

Anould is a village in the Vosges department, nestled in the Meurthe valley between Saint-Dié-des-Vosges and Gérardmer. Its location makes it a convenient base for exploring the Vosges mountains, including the scenic Route des Crêtes and the Col de la Schlucht, both around a thirty-minute drive away. The surrounding region is known for its mid-mountain landscapes, fir forests and well-marked walking trails, popular from spring through to autumn. In winter, the nearby ski resorts of Gérardmer and La Bresse offer downhill and cross-country skiing. The River Meurthe runs through the village, providing a green setting well suited to fishing and riverside walks. Anould retains the rural charm typical of the Vosges, with modest yet authentic architecture. Visitors keen on local produce can sample regional specialities such as Munster cheese, Vosges blueberries and traditional mountain dishes at nearby farm inns. The village offers a peaceful base for a nature-focused holiday, combining mountains and river scenery away from the busier tourist spots.
