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

Magnificent almost 360 degree panorama. There is a very appreciable calm as the area is not very busy and the roads are far away. (you can even squeeze into some cavities in the rock!)

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.

Impressive lock 16 meters high on the Marne-Rhine canal. It is an ideal bivouac spot, you will find many picnic tables as well as barbecues and even a shared library. The site is remarkably maintained by the Voies Navigales de France and the atmosphere is particularly pleasant.
