Canal de la Marne au Rhin Cycle Path near Bauzemont

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle paths in this area are almost new and great to ride.
The existing cycle paths should also be maintained - e.g. grass and trees should be cut!
It is easy to have cycle paths built with EU money, they look great and are wonderful to ride on!
But it is also clearly visible to everyone if they are not maintained in the years to come.
On our trip from Nancy to Xouaxange we experienced by far the worst maintained cycle paths on the canal - and we had almost 2300 km (canal kilometers) behind us in France.
It is just strange that this area is one of the richest regions in the whole of France.

Industrial Complex on Both Sides of the Canal

The dimensions of these industrial facilities really surprised me. Mass railway tracks for the transport

Varangéville footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

Footbridge reserved for bicycles and pedestrians which allows you to reach Varangéville by avoiding the large bridge. Very nice view of the Marne-Rhine canal and the basilica of Saint-Nicolas-du-Port.

Marne–Rhine Canal

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Before Nancy leaves the official Moselradweg the Moselle and the Canal des Vosges and follows the Canal de la Marne au Rhin to Nancy.

Wiki: The Canal connects the Canal latéral à la Marne (German Marne side canal) and the Canal entre Champagne et Bourgogne (German: Channel between Champagne and Burgundy) in Vitry -le-François with the Moselle near Nancy and the Rhine near Strasbourg.

Nancy, its heritage and its sweets

Highlight • Settlement

Nancy is one of the great cities, if not the great city of the Moselle Valley. Its imposing Place Stanislas bears witness to the architectural wealth of the metropolis, known for its Art Nouveau buildings. On the gastronomic side, bergamots and macaroons enrich the local heritage with a sweet note.
