A well-developed cycle path, highly recommended! You can follow it from the Luxembourg border to Épinal – at the foot of the Vosges Mountains.

⛪ St. Lawrence Church in Rettel – Romanesque meets Renaissance on the Moselle St. Lawrence Church in the French town of Rettel is an impressive example of religious architecture with roots in the 11th century. Originally built as part of a Benedictine monastery, it has been expanded several times over the years, incorporating Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance elements. 🕍 Particularly striking: the massive bell tower, the restored main portal, and the historic church interior with its Baroque pulpit and ornate stained glass windows. Tip: The church is located directly on a hiking trail above the Moselle – ideal for a quiet break with cultural depth. Anyone interested in sacred architecture will find a rare gem with a spiritual flair here.
