Vosges, Lorraine and Alsace
Lakes and mountains of the Vosges, Nancy and Obernai. 15 photos
About this gallery
This place gallery travels across eastern France, from the lakes of the Vosges mountains to Nancy and to Obernai in Alsace. Around Xonrupt and Lake Longemer, the Vosges ridges are mirrored in the water, a chapel stands out under a changing sky, and a rower crosses a lake worthy of a postcard. Higher up, a Vosges village clings to the mountainside under low cloud, and a Vosgienne cow grazes in a meadow lit by the evening sun.
In Nancy, the basilica raises its stone towers, while in Obernai, half-timbered houses, wooden balconies and restaurant terraces keep the old Alsatian town's character. Elsewhere, a stone church tower stands out against a deep blue sky and a view taken from a train runs past a village church.
Vosges sweets, a local speciality, close out this tour. These royalty-free photos suit stories about the Vosges, Alsace and Lorraine, mountain scenery or a geography lesson; they are free to download on Pexels.
