The Vosges, on the borders of Franche-Comté, Lorraine and Champagne, Passavant-la-Rochère has the chance to see the oldest work of art glassware from France. Born in 1475, the company still employs nearly two hundred employees and among them, true artists can reproduce the actions of ancestral gentlemen glassmakers.

Crossing point and border, the village still has the remains of two fortifications of the Thirty Years War.
