In Selles, a nice little country town between Canal des Vosges and Coney. Another curiosity for lovers of good artisanal bread as we do more of these days.... The bakery makes its bread the old-fashioned way with the same recipe as in the 1930s. Enough to take you on a journey to a totally unknown culinary country, with unprecedented taste quality. The pastry cakes are on the same model: EXCELLENTISSIME! They also have a small convenience store with drinks...

Listed as a Historic Monument, the Saint-Étienne church is very pretty. Inside there is a magnificent organ, perhaps you will have the chance to listen to it during your visit.

After 1871, the decision was taken to establish a north-south connection from the Moselle to the Saône on the western slope of the Vosges: construction of the Canal de l'Est, which would be completed in 1886. At the entrance to the village of Selles , the canal doubles the river: stone bridge over the river, metal swing bridge over the canal. The rotating bridge, with simple mechanics (articulated metal deck and pivot allowing its rotation), is still operated manually in 1994 by an employee of the navigation service who lives in the small neighboring house

Metal swing bridge over the Eastern Canal, built during the second part of the 19th century, Selles being a boatman's village at the time. The bridge still works and is manually operated. It is classified as a Historic Monument. A picnic area has been set up right next to it, between the canal and the Côney. Don't hesitate to take a break there, or even take a swim in the Côney.
