Lunéville Castle

Highlight • Castle

The baroque castle of the Dukes of Lorraine is the largest in Eastern France and is considered the "Lorraine Versailles". It was severely damaged by a fire in 2003 and restored in the 2010s after high-profile fundraising campaigns. The castle and park are worth seeing.

The maintenance of such great rest areas also shows that this section of the canal is valued to a certain extent.

Unfortunately, there are also completely different examples that still have a lot of catching up to do in terms of maintenance.

Marne–Rhine Canal

Highlight • River

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

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

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.

Écluse No 13 de Lagare

Highlight • Other

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.

I was astonished that the Rhine-Marne Canal cycle path is completely neglected for many kilometers.
Brambles, grasses, and other plants narrow the path in places to less than 1 meter. Trees and shrubs are also growing there.
The same picture a year ago – but only in this region! There were no such things in the Doubs, Loire, or Brittany!
What a shame!
