This flood column can be seen right on the cycle path. It's quite impressive how high the Moselle can rise!

Mostly tarred. The landscape is wonderful in both directions. Unfortunately, my sat nav got a little crazy with the altitude information. The …

Also in this case we prefer to pedal slightly uphill, but with the wind behind us. Fascinating near Jouy-aux-Arches, the remains of the Roman aqueduct, which still dominates some houses. Metz deserves a thorough visit. From the imposing Saint-Étienne Cathedral to numerous other small and large buildings that characterize the medieval old town 🏰.
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.
