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.

This year we booked a room. Very comfortable size. We were able to store and charge our bikes in the shed. We only served breakfast; for dinner, we went down to the canal.

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.

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

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!

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