A little further away you can still find the old canal and locks with lock houses. I have added 2 or 3 pictures.

A smaller obstacle is this footbridge on the EV5. You either take the luggage off the bike or you push the bike and luggage together over to the other side.

This bridge is a real challenge with a touring bike loaded with a lot of luggage and cannot be managed by women without courageous help. What a joke it is that it is "easy to cross"!!!

The Écluse de Réchicourt-le-Château shaft lock, built between 1960 and 1965 and approximately 3 km from the main town along the Rhine-Marne Canal, replaces a lock staircase with six locks. Depending on the water level in the canal, their fall height is 15.45 to 16.10 meters. This makes it the highest French lock in a barge canal.
