The Meuse Canal is not perfectly straight like many French canals from the 19th century.

Magnificent church and a good bakery on the square.

It's wonderful to cycle with the racing bike

Founded around 708 by Count Wulfoalde, this Benedictine abbey became an important religious and cultural centre in Lorraine. The abbey was under the protection of Charlemagne and flourished under Abbot Smaragdus in the 9th century. Today, you can still visit the abbey church of Saint-Michel, home to the masterpiece La Pâmoison de la Vierge by Ligier Richier. The 18th-century monastery library houses thousands of ancient works and is one of the most beautiful in the region.

This former abbey church forms the historic heart of Saint-Mihiel. Originally built in the 9th century, it took on its current form during major renovations in the 17th and 18th centuries. Inside, you can admire a magnificent baroque organ (1679–1681), colourful stained glass windows and the masterpiece La Pâmoison de la Vierge by sculptor Ligier Richier. A place where art, history and spirituality come together.

Saint-Mihiel is picturesquely situated on the Meuse, on the edge of the Lorraine Regional Nature Park. The town grew around a Benedictine abbey, founded in the 8th century, and flourished during the Renaissance. Visit the abbey with its impressive library, the Museum of Sacred Art, and the Saint-Michel church. Wander the charming streets, admire the sculptures of Ligier Richier, and taste local specialities such as the “croquets” and “rochers de Saint-Mihiel”. A town full of history, culture and character.

Saint-Mihiel is one of those towns in the Meuse with a unique charm. You'll discover beautiful Renaissance facades there. Don't miss a detour to the Saint-Étienne church to see its superb Entombment, as well as the former Benedictine abbey, which reveals an impressive 18th-century library.

Commercy is one of the most beautiful detours in France. The town owes its fame to its madeleine (a French church) and its Stanislas Castle. Wandering its streets is a chance to discover 18th-century architecture. A short break here is an opportunity to discover a piece of the history of the Meuse while enjoying a pleasant setting before heading back out onto the surrounding roads and trails.
