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 park behind the castle is huge, the entire castle complex covers 21 hectares. As is customary in the Baroque period, it is strictly geometric in the French style and offers many flower beds, ponds, statues, and much more.

The house still exists, but the restaurant has closed. A new one has opened in its place.

A beautiful colorful house. Einville-au-Jard is located on an island because of the canal.

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.
