"Le Moulin neuf," a superbly restored mill. You can certainly find cheaper options, but the quality of the accommodation and the services (excellent breakfast included) are well worth it. Plus, you'll be doing a small part to help integrate people with disabilities. Also worth noting is the Bodeca restaurant, associated with the mill, with brasserie-style menus starting at €15, good prices and always in a very pleasant setting.

A "chemin de halage", in German "treidelpfad", which runs alongside the waterway right next to the bed of the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move using motor power, horses ran along the bank and pulled the ship against the current. This was called "treideln", and that is how the "treidelpfad" got its name. Where these paths directly on the bank have been preserved, they are now popular with hikers and cyclists.
