ELOYES
LE MAQUIS DU HAUT DU BOIS
Description
The Éloyes maquis was born out of the refusal of the Service du Travail Obligatoire (S.T.O.) and became a combat unit integrated into the Forces Françaises de l'Intérieur des Maquis des Vosges. Its members carried out armed actions and distributed leaflets and newspapers calling for resistance, paying a heavy price to liberate the Éloyes region.
A commemorative stele, erected on the heights of Éloyes, honours their memory. To get there, simply follow the signposts from the church.
