This serene place is the resting place of more than 5,000 French and German soldiers from WWI and WWII. The cemetery, with its simple stone crosses and impressive lead cross, is a reminder of the fierce fighting around Reillon. A place of silence, reflection and reconciliation, where history becomes tangible in the landscape of Lorraine. A large lead cross of 3.20 metres adorns the central memorial.

Between 1914 and 1918, Leintrey was occupied by German troops. The houses and the church were heavily bombed, life became unbearable and the inhabitants had to flee. Only two houses were still standing at the Armistice. Just 1.5 km from the village, French troops held out in their trenches, despite heavy attacks. On 10 July 1916, the Germans blew up mines under these positions - 83 soldiers of the 162nd regiment were killed. After the war, the village was rebuilt in 1925. The school, the town hall and the presbytery were designed by Joseph Hornecker, also known for the Grand Théâtre de Nancy. In 1940, a new occupation followed. Liberation did not come until November 1944, after further destruction, including the church.

There was a folk festival here

The Château de Moyen is a 15th century fortress also known as the Château de Qui-qu'en-grogne. It was built by Conrad Bayer de Boppart, bishop of Metz, to defend his possessions against the Dukes of Lorraine. The castle was besieged and dismantled several times. Today it is partly restored and partly in ruins. You can explore the remains of the castle, such as the stately home, towers, walls and moat, and enjoy the panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. The castle is open to visitors from April to October, and you can also take part in guided tours or restoration workshops organized by a local association.

Sadly rather faded and shabby, Baccarat. The nature in the area is beautiful for walking and cycling. Round Baccarat route (about 50 km) was easy to do on the e-bike with Komoot. Quite a few bits on roads with cars, but it was not very busy.

pastures and culture. small roads, small villages. + succulent Lorraine pâté from Bertrichamps bakery (halfway through)

Nice little 13th century Christian chapel with a great view of the Vosges, commented with a viewpoint indicator. There are benches and a picnic table next to the chapel. Another great point is the water tap behind the chapel !

If you like old medieval castles, this is worth a look if you ride by it.
