The greenway that follows the lot is really pretty. Alternating between clean site and small roads, it's varied and very pleasant!!

Be careful, there is a footbridge that serves as a cycle path, but its width is limited and does not allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross. It is unthinkable to use it with an electric bike with 70 cm handlebars... It is better to ride on the bridge, especially since there is a road sign authorizing cyclists at the entrance to the bridge... It seems that not all motorists know this sign.

The community, often referred to as the "Order of the Templars" for short, whose full name is "Poor Knights of Christ and of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem", takes us back to the 13th century. Founded in the Holy Land, it spread surprisingly quickly with numerous branches in many countries in Central Europe. The order gained notoriety through the fact that it was dissolved in 1312 by the French king and the pope and its members were accused of being heretics. The main reason for the dissolution, however, was not the human and religious misconduct (heresy) of the members, which was merely a pretext, but the legendary wealth of this order. King Philip IV of France (1268 to 1314) wanted to use this measure primarily to improve his coffers and secure its treasures.
