During your romantic stroll, stop by the Russian Orthodox Chapel. Located in the Thermal Park, it was built for Grand Duchess Wladimir of Russia in 1909. After taking refuge with other Russians after the October Revolution, she died in Contrexéville in 1920 and is buried in this chapel. Her third son, Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovich, is also buried beside her.

While the romantic trend dominates in Contrexéville, other artistic trends and architectural styles can be observed. Whether it is the neo-Byzantine style of the thermal baths, or the Art Deco style that characterizes the Casino, the city’s heritage offers you a thousand and one ways to be seduced.
