Description

The Pont des Fées is a bridge located in the communes of Gérardmer and Xonrupt-Longemer. It is an arched bridge, built in medieval stones.
It was built in 1763 and restored between 1782 and 1838 and was the only passageway serving Saint-Dié to the fortress of Martimpré.
Several legends are attributed to the site. According to one of them, a fairy would attract the knights to make them drink a potion so that they would not be clairvoyant anymore and to attract them to build the bridge before being released at dawn.
The bridge known as the Bridge of the Fairies is registered as a historical monument by order of February 11, 1972.
