Donon
The Massif du Donon is at an altitude of 1009 m, the highest point of the lower Vosges, at the junction of the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. Since prehistory, because it is visible from afar, it is attributed to it a sacred character that will never leave it. Its secluded location promotes the development of legends, mixing myth and reality. The Romans, mysteriously seduced, dedicated the site to Mercury. Feared by the first Christians, Donon has since presided over the design of Victor Hugo. Under Napoleon III, a successful pastiche of ancient temple crowned the summit.
