The area of the association was in the transition area between the western foothills of the Vosges and flatter land near the Moselle .

Eleven parishes from the Arrondissement Épinal belonged to the local authority association .
The community association was founded in 2003 to pool the material resources of the very small communities and to coordinate economic development.
