The local artist Anni Kenn-Fontaine came up with the idea of designing her art project "Vis-à-Vis", which was inaugurated on April 26, 2002, in order to emphasize the cross-border importance of this path and to set a symbol for German-French friendship. Around 50 children from the primary schools St. Oranna Altforweiler and St. Oranna Berus / Felsberg on the German side and from the primary schools Berviller, Rémering and Villing and the “Ecole Maternelle” from Merten on the French side pressed their hands into concrete paving stones that were still damp. Dyed in the European colors of yellow and blue, the stones - once here on the German side and once opposite on the French side - were set into the path as walkable, paved bands. These "vis-à-vis" ribbons are intended to invite you to go "to the other side" in order to make the meaning of this old border path aware. The names of the children involved in this project, whose handprints are immortalized in concrete, are on the blackboard, a hundred meters further "opposite" on the French side.
