Rombach-le-Franc

Perched in the Vosges, Rombach-le-Franc is located just 10 kilometers from Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines and 17 kilometers from Sélestat by car. This village, part of the canton of Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, is home to a warm community whose members are nicknamed the Rombéchats.

The history of Rombach-le-Franc dates back to the year 774, when it was founded by Vosgian settlers known as Welsches.

Even today, the influence of these early inhabitants is easily recognized through the many farms featuring Vosgian architecture scattered throughout the commune.
