Coney Castle

The imposing building is located on a huge fenced-in property right next to the canal. Is it really a "chateau"? I couldn't find anything about it.

August 20, 2023,La Voie Bleu… de Bouzey à Jussey
Shortly after the start we crossed the watershed and headed towards the Mediterranean... so a first stage. Following the canal it goes through narrow, shady valleys, and today we have easily plastered the meters in altitude that we have climbed the last few days. In the direction of Jussey it becomes more leisurely, broader and meandering. Conclusion: a lot of …

After starting in Épinal, we pedal steeply uphill over the ridge to return to the Vosges Canal. We cycle along it for a few more kilometers uphill to Girancourt. A little further on, the canal crosses the watershed at an altitude of 370 meters.

Today the first canal stage of my cycling trip started. It went along the Canal des Vosges or the Canal de l'Est from the Moselle to the upper Saône valley. A good 70 kilometers of it was a special asphalted path along the canal without cars. The route was a lot of fun: the canal takes many curves, it is …

Today I saw my second kingfisher. They are very beautiful animals.
Otherwise, today's stage was very nice and quiet. There weren't too many people around.
The infrastructure of the path is also improving 😁.

A fantastic bike tour along the Moselle. Water, sun, wind, and great bike paths. The 133km were easily manageable. The route passed the watershed at an elevation of 370 meters.

After a pleasant day of rest in pretty Épinal, I set off again this morning in cool temperatures. First I cycled a little way down the Moselle and then spent most of the day along the Canal des Vosges. Canal cycling can sometimes be a bit boring, but today's route was really great. The most beautiful canal route I've cycled …

Today, bright sunshine, no hassle, and a magnificent landscape. This is the most beautiful stage so far. Wild and the colors of autumn are flamboyant. Lots of locks mark the route, always on the way up.
Now the valley is narrower and the conifers appear.
Épinal, a big city, too much difference between the day and the arrival. Not really …
