Le 2 septembre 1939, la nuit m\u00eame o\u00f9 la guerre est d\u00e9clar\u00e9e, le maire de Rochesson ram\u00e8ne une statue de la Vierge dans son camion et l’installe au-dessus du village. Le lendemain matin, le camion est r\u00e9quisitionn\u00e9 par les Allemands. Rochesson traversera la guerre sans \u00eatre d\u00e9truit. Ce r\u00e9cit, les habitants le racontent \u00e0 chaque rassemblement \u2014 et il donne au lieu une densit\u00e9 qu’on ne s’attend pas \u00e0 trouver au bout d’un chemin de campagne.<\/p>\n
La statue se dresse \u00e0 612 m d’altitude, soit une centaine de m\u00e8tres au-dessus du village. La mont\u00e9e depuis la rue d’Urbainroche est courte et accessible \u00e0 pied depuis le centre, sans avoir \u00e0 se soucier du stationnement. En haut, la vall\u00e9e du Bouchot s’\u00e9tale en contrebas, encadr\u00e9e par les pentes bois\u00e9es des Vosges.<\/p>\n
Chaque premier dimanche de septembre, les habitants de Rochesson et les paroissiens du Ban-de-Vagney se retrouvent ici pour une messe en plein air. Si vous cherchez la tranquillit\u00e9, \u00e9vitez ce week-end. Si vous voulez voir le village en f\u00eate autour de sa m\u00e9moire, c’est exactement le bon moment.<\/p>\n
Le site s’int\u00e8gre naturellement dans une boucle balis\u00e9e de 13,5 km (450 m de d\u00e9nivel\u00e9, environ 4 h) qui passe aussi par les cascades du Saut du Bouchot et de Battion \u2014 une belle fa\u00e7on d’encha\u00eener patrimoine et nature dans la m\u00eame demi-journ\u00e9e. Les familles avec enfants et les seniors trouveront l’acc\u00e8s \u00e0 la statue seul tr\u00e8s abordable ; la boucle compl\u00e8te demande davantage d’engagement.<\/p>\n
Hors p\u00e8lerinage de septembre et hors saison de ski de fond (d\u00e9cembre \u00e0 mars), Rochesson est un village calme. Les autres week-ends d’\u00e9t\u00e9, vous aurez le site pratiquement pour vous.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":5561,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"class_list":["post-5357","decouverte-vosges","type-decouverte-vosges","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decouverte-vosges\/5357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decouverte-vosges"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/decouverte-vosges"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
