Vosges (88)

Wilder and more intimate than neighbouring Gérardmer, Lake Longemer stretches at the foot of the ridges, fringed by meadows and campsites. Its glacial waters appeal to fans of quiet swimming, pedalos, fishing and diving. It is the perfect stop on a three-lakes loop up to the Col de la Schlucht.
