Car Hire in Saint Die - Mini guide to Saint Die

The full name of Saint-Die is actually Saint-Dié-des-Vosges and is located in the northeastern part of France in the Vosges region. Surrounded by beautifully wooded hillsides, Saint-Die is situated in the Muerthe River basin roughly sixty kilometers northeast of Epinal if one is traveling by rail.

The cozy city of nearly 23,000 residents is one that features red sandstone as the primary construction material that was used after it was destroyed by the great fire of 1757. A Romanesque nave graces the main cathedral of the city which was built in the 12th century and is a well-preserved tribute to that form of architecture that dominated most of that century.

Jules Ferry, a French statesman and ardent imperialist of the early 19th century was born here and there is a monument in the city that receives a lot of tourist’s attention. The hôtel-de-ville or village hotel has a small library that houses some very valuable manuscripts; a museum filled with antiquities and a theater. The quaint style is sure to please the curious traveler. The city is also known for its spinning and weaving industries, as well as the manufacture of hosiery and a variety of woodworking.

To see the city today, you would never suspect that the Germans had destroyed numerous city landmarks and deported a large portion of the town’s inhabitants during World War II. What was once a city that was ravaged by war is now one that is a thriving manufacturing center for chemicals, foundry products and various machinery.
