Épinal and the Vologne valley
Twenty minutes from Épinal, a house on the edge of the forest
Docelles is a village in the Vologne valley, 20 minutes from Épinal. Le Fournil sleeps up to six: for exploring the town, for a family holiday or for a few quiet days of work.
What to see
Épinal in a day
Start at the Imagerie d’Épinal, where the famous prints have been made since 1796 and the workshop is still running. Then walk through the old town to the Basilica of Saint-Maurice and climb to the castle park on the hill above the Moselle.
On a rainy day, the departmental museum of ancient and contemporary art, by the Moselle, rounds off the visit.

Weekdays
A few quiet days of work
For a business trip or a family visit, the house works just as well during the week: Wi-Fi fast enough for video calls, a desk upstairs, a fully equipped kitchen and two parking spaces. Docelles has a station on the line to Épinal.
The minimum stay is two nights, and self check-in from 5 pm means you can arrive after work.
Frequently asked questions
In December
St Nicholas in Épinal
In early December, Épinal celebrates St Nicholas with a big parade of floats through the town centre, fireworks and a St Nicholas village until the holidays. The town publishes the dates each autumn.
And the slopes of Gérardmer are just half an hour from the house.
