ABSTRACT
Thermobarometric data combined with tectonic studies of two metamorphicunits in the Vosges Massif, give evidence for two different P-T-t paths.Granulite facies rocks were metamorphosed at relatively high pressure beforebeing thrust onto lower biotite-sillimanite gneisses, probably during thevariscan orogen.
