In the 19th century, places of entertainment called "Feuillées" were created on the heights of the village and regularly frequented each summer by illustrious artists and celebrities in a spa in Plombières-les-Bains. The long walks were done in tanks dragged by oxen, the walkers made a roof in foliage or "in foliage", to guarantee themselves from the heat of the sun. Viewpoint on the city and its valley. Access by the D20

Viewpoint overlooking the Combeauté valley with on the right the Saint-Valbert coast, and on the left, the Prieuré d'Hérival nestled in a remote part of the gorge. At the beginning of the 19th century, only a small farm existed when Empress Josephine visited it. This place had its period of fame from 1827 when a young girl, Dorothée Vançon, sang and played Epinette des Vosges while serving refreshments to her guests, thus contributing to the reputation of the place which naturally bears her first name.

The first church in Val d'Ajol, which resembled a chapel, stood on a mound. Deemed too small, it was replaced in the 16th century by a new church on the Place du Sô. The oldest part of the church dates back to the 16th century, and was extended until the 18th century to accommodate the growing population. After the earthquake of 1682, the bell tower, built on unstable ground, was consolidated in 1734 with a portico with three porches aligned with the nave and aisles. The bell tower houses four bells and its roof is covered in lava stone. The interior contains a number of items that are listed as historic monuments: an 18th-century altarpiece, a 16th-century Christ on the Cross and a 15th-century piéta.
