Wild roses and periwinkles on the plains, honeysuckle and bay trees in the Vôge, gentians, wood anemones and foxgloves in the mountains, droseras which feed on insects and tall cottongrass in the peat bogs… each area has its flora, which is original, multicoloured, aromatic, sometimes medicinal, and which you learn about as you travel through these areas. Where you will also find lots of wild fruit, typical of the area and full of flavour, emblems of local traditions and key ingredients of the Vosges culinary art.

And, finally, it is difficult to consider the Vosges flora without spending a little more time on the noble spring daffodil, a symbolic flower on which a magnificent festival in Gérardmer, is based, every two years.

Its botanical name is "Narcissus pseudonarcissus", and every year its carpet of flowers lights up the damp pastures with a bright yellow, starting in March.
