Lusse

Lusse is a small village in the Vosges département, nestled in the Meurthe valley, close to Saint-Dié-des-Vosges and near the Col du Bonhomme, which marks the natural border with Alsace. This mountain village enjoys a green setting, surrounded by the dense forests typical of the Vosges massif, making it a popular starting point for hiking and countryside walks. The area also offers winter activities, with several cross-country and downhill ski resorts within easy reach, particularly around Gérardmer and the wider Vosges mountains.
