    After 1871, the decision was taken to establish a north-south connection from the Moselle to the Saône on the western slope of the Vosges: construction of the Canal de l'Est, which would be completed in 1886. At the entrance to the village of Selles , the canal doubles the river: stone bridge over the river, metal swing bridge over the canal. The rotating bridge, with simple mechanics (articulated metal deck and pivot allowing its rotation), is still operated manually in 1994 by an employee of the navigation service who lives in the small neighboring house

      Metal swing bridge over the Eastern Canal, built during the second part of the 19th century, Selles being a boatman's village at the time. The bridge still works and is manually operated. It is classified as a Historic Monument.
      A picnic area has been set up right next to it, between the canal and the Côney. Don't hesitate to take a break there, or even take a swim in the Côney.
