    Impressive lock 16 meters high on the Marne-Rhine canal. It is an ideal bivouac spot, you will find many picnic tables as well as barbecues and even a shared library. The site is remarkably maintained by the Voies Navigales de France and the atmosphere is particularly pleasant.

    With the Grande Écluse near Réchicourt, the Canal de la Marne au Rhin overcomes a difference in altitude of up to 16 meters. Built between 1960 and 1965, the building replaced the old lock staircase, which consisted of six individual locks.

    There is a lot to see at the big lock. There is a nice break and barbecue area next to the lock itself. You can also marvel at the remains of the old lock staircase in the immediate vicinity.
