This greenway is part of a project to create a loop of the Moselle River, which will ultimately offer a 60km route along the rivers and canals in the Nancy region. A very pleasant and exotic route away from any traffic.

The Villey-le-Sec Dam offers a great mix of stunning scenery and challenges for road cyclists. Located on the Moselle River, you'll ride on well-maintained paths and enjoy views of this relaxing river.

A good steep hill for me, requires a bit of training to climb it, especially the second part.

In spring, the entire small river valley is a huge field of wild garlic.

The lock and dam are managed by Voies Navigables de France. Construction of the hydroelectric power plant began in May 1986. It is attached to the dam. As the name suggests, the structure is used to generate electricity by taking advantage of the waterfall caused by the dam. The power plant does not operate during periods of high or low water. It is managed by EDF. [https://www.villeylesec.fr/L-ecluse-et-le-barrage?lang=fr]

In these caves you are supposed to have strong knees because the passages in the caves are very low.

The Dent de la Roche belvedere is located at the top of a cliff which dominates the valley and the village of Maron. From the bench, you can enjoy an exceptional panorama and admire the nature and architecture of the region.

Even if the turnoff to Nancy on the Moselle cycle path is worth it, you shouldn't miss this loop of the Moselle. From Maron to Toul, the Moselle shows different landscapes. The most beautiful part for me is the swamp through which the bike path leads along a dam. Camping in Villey-le-Sec on the other bank of the Moselle is definitely recommended as a stopover with a tent. Access is via the large lock.
