Le Grand Est autrement: when art meets nature

Art in the forest: sculptures and land art along the trails

Vent des Forêts: a dialogue between art and nature

In the heart of the Meuse region, Vent des Forêts is a contemporary art space in the heart of nature, where works of art dot the undergrowth, clearings and paths. Along 45 kilometres of signposted paths, more than 150 creations sometimes seem to appear at the turn of a tree, or nestle in the landscape as if they had always belonged there. Monumental sculptures, ephemeral installations or discreet creations, these works in the middle of nature transform the walk into an immersive experience where the eye marvels and the imagination wanders.

The Photo Trail: XXL images

In the heart of the Hautes-Vosges, the Sentier de la Photo transforms the forest into an open-air gallery. On the crests of the massif, along a route through the heart of nature, gigantic prints are unveiled, inviting visitors to contemplate them in a whole new way. Each year, a new theme highlights the work of photographers from around the world, and each season brings new colours to the visuals. As if in symbiosis, the natural setting and the photographs offer a poetic spectacle.
