Beautiful cycle path along the canal.

The house still exists, but the restaurant has closed. A new one has opened in its place.

At Xures, there's only 50 cm left of the almost 2-meter-wide bike path in places. That was the case last year, too. It's a good thing it didn't rain this time, otherwise our shoes would have been soaking wet again.

We were practically alone on this section of the canal. It's also sparsely populated, so you'll have to search for restaurants! At the lock - no one - unless a boat was in the lock. At least we didn't see anyone else.

Border village when WWI broke out. You will find a war memorial plaque on the town hall that commemorates the inhabitants of WWI, WWII and the war in Algeria ('54-'62)

Xousse was located near the former border between France and Germany (1871–1914), just 2 km away. In the run-up to WWI, this was a strategically sensitive area. In the area, old boundary stones can still be found that remind us of this period. The village was completely destroyed in 1914-1918 and 1939-1945: the population was evacuated. You will not find a memorial here, but a sober War Remembrance plaque on the church.

It is sometimes a bad part, where you go bumpy on the cycle path. The cracks are not too bad in my opinion.
