A little further away you can still find the old canal and locks with lock houses. I have added 2 or 3 pictures.

Not drinkable water but ideal for a quick cool down

The Écluse de Réchicourt-le-Château shaft lock, built between 1960 and 1965 and approximately 3 km from the main town along the Rhine-Marne Canal, replaces a lock staircase with six locks. Depending on the water level in the canal, their fall height is 15.45 to 16.10 meters. This makes it the highest French lock in a barge canal.

I don't know about you, but watching the boats go through the locks is never boring. It is always a good place to spend time.

Impressive lock 16 meters high on the Marne-Rhine canal. It is an ideal bivouac spot, you will find many picnic tables as well as barbecues and even a shared library. The site is remarkably maintained by the Voies Navigales de France and the atmosphere is particularly pleasant.

In the heart of the Brainches forest, this shelter is made available to the public by the local hunting association. The hut is open to everyone, so remember to leave it clean and take your rubbish away.
