Former railway station water tower

Highlight • Structure

This water tower was built in the German, imperial period, and it's quite a sight - no wonder they call it the water castle! It forms a nice ensemble with the nearby train station, in the same style.

May 5, 2025,Aqueduc de Jouy-aux-Arches — Schleife von Le Ban-Saint-Martin

The route back along the Canal de Jouy is very bumpy. It's a narrow path in places, with lots of tree roots. Next time, I'd prefer to cycle along this section, like I did on the outward journey, along the Moselle.

Nice as a ballad. Possibility to continue on Pont à Mousson & Nancy.
