Tips from the Community
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.

The lake is located in a kind of park. Not a soul there.

The factory and its associated residential quarters, owned by Czech shoe manufacturer Tomáš Baťa, were built between 1931 and 1935, modeled on the model town of Zlín in the Czech Republic, Bata's hometown. It is best reached from the Rhine-Marne Canal via the former railway bridge at Lock No. 8 and the former train station building. The dirt road is easily accessible even on a racing bike in dry weather. First, you reach the former factory buildings with their typical red and white color scheme. In accordance with the Athens Charter, the living areas were separated from those used for work. Accordingly, the actual residential settlement is laid out a few hundred meters up a hill. Here, too, the residential buildings are constructed in the Classical Modern style as cubic structures with flat roofs. I particularly liked the red-brick houses in the first section, but the church at the highest point of the settlement is also worth a look.

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.

This "pitched roof" looks almost like a roof for the drying rooms of a whisky distillery.
