The itinerary starts from the Municipal …

Third stage first part, on the way to Lyon. Super tour, very well described, great bike paths. Although in this section, part of the Veloroute was closed due to construction work, after a small stretch of road, we could take the next entrance, no problem. Metz and Pont a Mousson: very good infrastructure for cyclists. I can only recommend.
