Really fantastic cycle path

The road is superbly paved and therefore a great ride. But be careful, some of the bends are tight and blind!

The Voie Bleue runs from the fortified town of Thionville, with its two lock bridges, true masterpieces of military architecture, along the port of Illange, the first river port for metallurgical products, passing by its industrial heritage and the former U4 blast furnace, one of the few buildings of the 20th century steel industry that is now a cultural and historical centre. Just before Metz, the cycle path crosses a beautiful wetland with idyllic ponds. Take the opportunity of your stay in the Lorraine capital to stroll through the old town: the Saint-Etienne Cathedral and the Pompidou-Metz Centre for Contemporary Art are two must-sees.

Cycling tour along the Moselle with a historical touch....Charles the Fearful is the namesake here and information boards make his time and deeds come alive.

Well-developed cycle path along the Moselle. However, it often happens that you have to change side of the river.
