Pierrepont-sur-l'Arentèle (in French pronounced as /pjɛʁpɔ̃ syʁ laʁɑ̃tɛl/) is a commune in the Vosges department in Grand Est in northeastern France.
Inhabitants are called Pierrepontais in French.
The village is positioned on a minor road in the wooded countryside between Épinal and Saint-Dié. As the name indicates, the commune is crossed by the river, which rises at the foot of the Avison Massif in the commune of Bruyères, some 12km (07miles) through the forest to the southeast.
In the 7th century C.E., Saint Dié turned up on the banks of the Arentèle and started to build a monastery. The territory was already inhabited, however; the villagers greeted the new arrivals with hostility, chasing them away in an easterly direction towards present-day Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, where the itinerant saint and his retinue founded that town.
