While staying on the asphalt, you can cover more than 24 km. From the St. Brice Courcelles side, you can go up to La Neuvillette, then to Courcy, it's an unpaved road (passable but not for road bikes). After Courcy, there's asphalt up to Berry au Ferry (this allows you to discover the Sapigneul Owl, about 150 m on dirt road). On the other side, after Sillery, you can continue to Beaumont (asphalt). Then, on a dirt road passable by mountain bike, you can go to the Billy Arch, where the canal passes through a tunnel.

It is a camping, but that is where it ends. Little accommodation: no bench, no table, no shop or bar, no Wifi. Although internet reception via GSM is good.

The Église Saint-Maur de Courmelois in Val-de-Vesle is a historic church dedicated to Saint Maur, a priest martyred by the Romans in the 4th century. The first mentions of the church date from the 12th century, and the building was originally a property of the Abbaye de Saint Basle in Verzy. The church has a Romanesque architecture, with a characteristic arc in plein cintre, and was later influenced by the Gothic style. In 1920, the church was partially classified as a monument historique for its particular architectural features.
