HISTORY     In the heart of the Vosges plain, crossed by the Madon, the town of Mirecourt is the county town for a rural canton of 32 municipalities. Founded during the first millennium, Mirecourt was above all a place for trading gifted with its craft trades : stringed-instrument making, organ making and lace. Since the 17th century, supplies and the search for markets led the stringed-instrument makers and peddlers of lace on the roads of Europe and the entire world. From that time, Mirecourt has preserved a fine architectural heritage and has kept its strong commercial character.   Town center
