La Tour de la Liberté was constructed in Golbey, Vosges and erected in the jardin des Tuileries, Paris in 1989 as part of the celebrations for the bicentenary of the French Revolution.

In 1990 Saint-Dié purchased the tower for a nominal one franc and it was re-erected the centre of the town in parc Mansuy.

Saint-Dié: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Saint-Dié

by

The romanesque-style Cathedral, with parts dating back to the 12th century and a facade built in 1711, was dynamited by the fleeing Germans, despite promises it would be left intact, just before the town was liberated on 24 November 1944. Only the walls remained standing. The cathedral was reconstructed in an identical style and re-dedicated in 1974.
