Not at all a view of the canal, it's more of the Meurthe, the canal is right next to it.

A small relief to ride flat along the canal for a while when you come from the hilly area.

The canal is worth a bike trip - although the section between Nancy and Xouaxange does not offer such outstanding landscapes.

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

Here the canal bridges the Saar and a road. Interesting construction from 1881.

The chapel dedicated to Saint-Joseph is in the shape of a Greek cross. It was erected at a place called “Le Calvaire”. The first stone was laid on August 16, 1858. It was the priest-archpriest of Réchicourt who presided over the inauguration on May 27, 1866. In 1879, priest Poirine donated the chapel and the oratory to the parish. This chapel surprises the visitor with the imposing facade ending in stepped edges up to the pinnacle supporting the statue of St. Joseph. A pilgrimage is organized every year on St Joseph's Day but the breath of the past is fading.
