'''Basse-sur-le-Rupt''' ({{IPA|fr|bas syʁ lə ʁy|-|LL-Q150 (fra)-LoquaxFR-Basse-sur-le-Rupt.wav}}) is a [[Communes of France|commune]] in the [[Vosges (department)|Vosges]] [[Departments of France|department]] in [[Grand Est]] in northeastern France. Its inhabitants are called Bassurois. It is a mountainous commune of seven hamlets, crossed by the river Rupt. Its landmarks include Le Haut du Roc, Le Pierre des Communes, Le Piquante Pierre and the memorial of Le Croix des Moinats. Its historical industries were textiles, sawmills and granite.

== Geography ==
Situated in fairly mountainous country, the Basse-sur-le-Rupt is laid out over approximately 10 kilometres along the ''départementale 34'' which links [[Vagney]] with [[La Bresse]], rising from 409 to 1060m in altitude. The commune's seven hamlets are:
* La Burotte
* Contrexard
* Planois
* Presles
* Pubas
* Trougemont
* L'Echté

== History ==
Basse-sur-le-Rupt was notable during the Second World War. Piquante Pierre, one of the highest summits in the commune, through its height and its surrounding forests provided shelter to a [[Maquis (World War II)|Maquis]]. This unit was destroyed on 21 September 1944 by the [[Wehrmacht|German army]]. Piquante Pierre<ref>[http://alsace.lorrainesgm.free.fr/page51.html Le maquis de la piquante pierre, secteurs de la Moselotte et de la Vologne]{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> became thereafter a memorial to the dead, commemorating the 83 maquisards who were lost.

== Monuments and notable landmarks ==

'''Le Haut du Roc''' is a high point shared with the commune of [[Saulxures-sur-Moselotte]]. It is located at 1014 metres altitude, on ''poudingues'' ("puddings", mixtures of [[sandstone]] and pebbles). On a platform which offers a wide panorama of the commune, a cross was set up in 1933.

'''La Pierre des Quatre Communes''' is a boundary stone originally found by a trail walker in the forest. It marks the communes' border with three of its neighbours, [[La Bresse]], [[Cornimont]] and [[Rochesson]]. It is also the highest point in the commune at 1060 metres.

'''La Piquante Pierre''' is a monolith situated at 1008 metres altitude of unknown origin. It is remarkable because if one looks closely at it, it is notable that it has four faces (like the statues on [[Easter Island]]. Each face points in a [[cardinal direction]]. During the Second World War it was home to a maquis group of resistance fighters.

'''La Croix des Moinats''' is a monument to commemorate the [[Moroccan Goumier]]s who fought in the region during the Second World War. Their battalions, known as tabors, comprised 12000 soldiers, paid a heavy price of 9000 killed or wounded.

| explanations=The blazon is recent, designed in 1999 by a local artist, Olivier Claudon. It represents some characteristics of the commune:
* Its seven hamlets;
* The river which crosses it, the Rupt, which flows straight from the Moselotte
* Its economic history, based on
** the water which gave rise to its [[textile industry]], [[turbine|electric turbines]] and [[sawmill]]s
** [[granite|granite-working]]
* Its professor of botanical sciences [[Paul Henri Lecomte]].
