The Brézouard (French pronunciation: [bʁezwaʁ]) is a summit in the Vosges Mountains, part of the canton of Lapoutroie. It is located eight kilometers from Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, which can be reached by taking the small Échéry road.
The residents of Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines prefer to call the summit of Brézouard by the name Brüschbückel, which means "the mountain covered with heather."[2] On old maps, Brézouard may still appear under the name Bressoir.
