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

I was astonished that the Rhine-Marne Canal cycle path is completely neglected for many kilometers. Brambles, grasses, and other plants narrow the path in places to less than 1 meter. Trees and shrubs are also growing there. The same picture a year ago – but only in this region! There were no such things in the Doubs, Loire, or Brittany! What a shame!

Very nice and well-developed cycle path.

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.

An impressive building. It was nice that we were greeted with Edvard Grieg's morning mood. Unfortunately, I can't upload a video - the atmosphere was wonderful. The bike path along the canal is really good. I also took a few pictures for the trail view.
