ヴィルイーズのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Hello or good evening, This hike should not be attempted under any circumstances! The route is impassable: It crosses fields and private property. Furthermore, the beautiful old lock looks more like a brand-new lock. I say "looks like" because it's impossible to get close to it; everything is ugly fenced for a long distance. And as for the paths that are actually field edges, I didn't count the number of hunters' lodges. I felt like I was in an American horror movie set in the heart of Cajun territory; there was even a live pigeon in a trap to serve as bait for... What? A fox, maybe? I also didn't count the astounding number of cut trees and debris on the verges!

Along the Beaulieu Canal, you can take a pleasant and peaceful walk, admiring the green landscape and the picturesque locks. The canal, which dates from the 18th century, connects the Seine to the Aube and avoids the meanders of the river. You can follow the towpath for 9.1 kilometers, between Le Mériot and Noyen-sur-Seine, or make a loop passing through the villages of Melz-sur-Seine, Villiers-sur-Seine and Courceroy.
