Epinal is a vibrant and attractive town  about the same size as Loughborough. It lies in the valley of the Moselle among the foothills of the Vosges mountains in northeastern France.

You can find out much more from 
Epinal's own website

Twinning started over 50 years ago and our inner ring road is named in honour of that very long link.

This link was cemented in 2006 by the installation of commemorative benches in both towns.


Epinal is the capital of the Vosges departement in the east of France.

The town straddles the Moselle river beside the Vosges moutainous woodland to the east.

It has all the facilities of a major tourist centre with none of the disadvantages which tourism often brings.
