Commune du girmont-val-d'ajol

Located 12 km from Plombières-les-Bains, the village is in the heart of a preserved nature. A night market, which has become a must, takes place every summer and allows visitors to appreciate all the local products and know-how. Its habitat is very scattered (more than 20 localities) through a nature with a thousand facets: viewpoints, watershed, source of the Combeauté, streams, waterfalls, peat bogs, meurgers, remains of mills, fountains, boats, about thirty ponds, 21 crosses... without forgetting cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in winter. There is a very dense community life: the popular march (end of May), the St John's Day fireworks (June) and the fireworks (August) attract thousands of people each time.A little history The history of this atypical village is closely linked to that of Val-d'Ajol. For reasons of religious proximity, the inhabitants of the village built a church, which was completed in 1870, and for administrative and financial reasons, the commune of Girmont was created in 1869 by an imperial decree. The story is that of a female religious community, which, initially dedicated to prayer and meditation, became a noble chapter. Lorraine has had four such establishments, but the illustrious Chapter of Saint-Pierre de Remiremont was by far the most renowned for its age, its wealth and the quality of its recruitment.
