Very beautiful view of Passavant from the top of the viaduct.

In Selles, a nice little country town between Canal des Vosges and Coney. Another curiosity for lovers of good artisanal bread as we do more of these days.... The bakery makes its bread the old-fashioned way with the same recipe as in the 1930s. Enough to take you on a journey to a totally unknown culinary country, with unprecedented taste quality. The pastry cakes are on the same model: EXCELLENTISSIME! They also have a small convenience store with drinks...

A freight activity existed until 1991: coal was transported from Jussey for the activity of the Rochère glassworks... I ran in short pants after this train that we heard whistling from my grandparents' house from the carpentry in the 1970s We now pass over the viaduct at a height of more than 20 m via a superb cycle path which has rehabilitated this old line via the "Charles the Bold" route which joins CORRE towards the West and Epinal towards the East. The Charles the Bold Véloroute route takes, in France, the route of the V50 (In 2022, for legal reasons, the v50 must change its name. It becomes THE BLUE WAY Moselle-Saône by bike Luxembourg-Lyon) of Apach (57 Moselle) to Lamarche-sur-Saône (21 Côte d’Or). The Charles the Bold cycle route then reaches Dijon while the Voie Bleue heads towards Lyon. Have a nice trip to all!

After 1871, the decision was taken to establish a north-south connection from the Moselle to the Saône on the western slope of the Vosges: construction of the Canal de l'Est, which would be completed in 1886. At the entrance to the village of Selles , the canal doubles the river: stone bridge over the river, metal swing bridge over the canal. The rotating bridge, with simple mechanics (articulated metal deck and pivot allowing its rotation), is still operated manually in 1994 by an employee of the navigation service who lives in the small neighboring house

An essential crossroads to reach the illustrious town of Passavant la Rochère with its 15th century art glassworks, the oldest art glassworks in France...

Viaduct which connected Jussey to Epinal via Darnieulles by train, built between 1883 and 1886. The passage and establishment of a station in Passavant-la-Rochère was very important because of its large number of industrial establishments (and in particular the oldest art glassworks and crystal works in Europe, still in activity) . This specific area required the construction of a viaduct because the ground there was marshy. It was destroyed in 1944 by the Germans then rebuilt by German prisoners but the line ended up being decommissioned in 1951.
