An interesting city with a remarkable history. Joan of Arc, a resistance fighter during the Hundred Years' War, also plays a major role here. A 2.5-ton equestrian statue stands in front of the town hall. Up the many steps is the impressive cathedral, offering a magnificent view of the Meuse Valley and the city.

We particularly enjoyed the history of the town, situated on the Meuse River. The beautiful town hall was built in 1847/48 on the site of a monastery in the Italian Renaissance style. In front of the town hall stands the gigantic equestrian statue of Joan of Arc, revered by the French. This cast-iron monument weighs 2.5 tons. Joan is said to have conquered the city. There is also a Joan of Arc Museum in the town.

Outside the city you have a great view of the impressive cathedral

very nice quiet canal

A beautiful bucolic track along the canal

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.
