Village des Vosges, Basse-sur-le-Rupt takes place at the door of the High Vosges, in the heart of the Regional Natural Park of Ballons des Vosges. Member of the urban area of ​​La Bresse, it is located in the middle mountain, at the limits of Cornimont or Thiéfosse.

Quite ancient, the commune of Basse-sur-le-Rupt remained in history for a sad event of the Second World War. At that time, La Piquante Pierre, one of the highest peaks of the village, hosted a very active maquis. The latter was completely destroyed in 1944 by the German army. The site is now a place of memory paying tribute to the forty-three guerrillas killed on the spot.

Of modest size, the city of Basse-sur-le-Rupt has none the less an interesting architectural and natural heritage to be discovered passing through the region.
