The Royal Factory of Bains-les-Bains

Highlight • Historical Site

This former tinplate or tinware factory houses a whole complex that makes it one of the most beautiful 18th century industrial sites in Lorraine.
The complex includes the manufacturing workshops, workers' housing, the chapel and the tinworks.
The parks on the estate make it a pleasant place. The factory has been converted into gîtes and guest rooms, a filming location and hosts exhibitions related to industrial heritage.

Magnificent V50 & Canal des Vosges. Fontenoy never disappoints. Invitation to discovery: rich heritage, natural environment and beautiful walks in perspective... River port linking Burgundy> Dijon> Lyon and Belgium via Epinal... Excellent Blue Way: A 700 km escape along the water , from Luxembourg to Lyon. A cycling route for the curious, the gourmands and the lovers of the little Queen....

Selles Swing Bridge

Highlight • Rest Area

This bridge rotates to allow free passage to boats navigating on the Eastern Canal.

It is dated from the 19th century and is still in operation. It is operated by hand and pivots on its axis thanks to wheels located under the apron.

It is used by vehicles and pedestrians. A few meters away is a stone bridge, in contrast to the metal swing bridge, which spans the river.

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!
