MASSIF DES VOSGES

Explore La Petite Pierre and the many treasures it shelters through its heritage, its historic centre with its sumptuous church and small chapel.

The fortified town of La Petite Pierre is located in the heart of the Vosges du Nord Regional Nature Park, 25 km from Saverne and 60 km from Strasbourg. Built in the late 12th century and later modernized by Vauban, La Petite Pierre castle and its fortifications are perched on an imposing sandstone spur 250 m long and 80 m wide.
Take a stroll through the old town, also known as the "Staedtel", to discover the castle and the many treasures this pretty village has to offer.
