Beautiful cycle path along the canal.

The baroque castle of the Dukes of Lorraine is the largest in Eastern France and is considered the "Lorraine Versailles". It was severely damaged by a fire in 2003 and restored in the 2010s after high-profile fundraising campaigns. The castle and park are worth seeing.

Cheap, Pitches are clean, hot water. Basic. There is a ticket machine at the back of the building. No shop/boulangerie is close.

A small relief to ride flat along the canal for a while when you come from the hilly area.

The canal is worth a bike trip - although the section between Nancy and Xouaxange does not offer such outstanding landscapes.

it is very relaxing to drive along the canal - we enjoyed it very much. The rains have made the canal almost green in colour. The grass also seems to grow very quickly - along the canal path. I always thought it was green - not straw coloured.

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.

The maintenance of such great rest areas also shows that this section of the canal is valued to a certain extent. Unfortunately, there are also completely different examples that still have a lot of catching up to do in terms of maintenance.
