Very nice route with many locks.

The cycle path leads here on a dam between the Canal des Vosges and the Moselle. Very well paved and lined with beautiful, old plane trees.

August 9, 2025,von Épinal nach Nancy
Again: a wonderful trip, most of the time in the shade and along canals.
At 17km, Kitty discovered, that she lost her iPhone and her glasses 🙈. We had to ride back all the way to Épinal. Fortunately a runner found it and we could pick it up at his home. How lucky we were!!!!! Therefor ading an extra 40km …
32 degrees, no wind
This morning we looked at Place Stanislas again without tourists.
Then always along the Canal des Vosges in the direction of Epinal. The Moselle, which is no longer navigable from Nancy at the latest, ran alongside.

The last day of the trip was still bright and sunny.
The morning was cool, and the north wind followed us throughout the journey, making it very unpleasant.
The autumn colors were magnificent.
The canal runs alongside industrial wastelands, a reminder of its past and economic importance.

... the first 25km are cool but dry - a small climb right after the start warms our bones - we are making good progress ... 🚴‍♀️🚴🏻‍♂️🙂
... shortly after Igney we got into an "intensive cold wash program" and then again and again in different intensities ... 🌨️🌨️🌨️
... in Charmes we leave the rain outside and enjoy lunch …

We leave our apartment in Nancy. First, we get a fresh baguette 🥖, then we look for the right access to the Rhine-Marne Canal. A construction site 🚧 forces us to take a detour.

In Laneuveville, we then turn onto the Voie Bleue along the Nancy connecting canal, which takes us from Nancy in the Meurthe Valley over a mountain …

Today was the most beautiful stage so far.
Very quiet along the canal and not many people.
There was even a stop with water and tools. We also found a cyclist's rest stop.
