This lock is precision work. Shortly afterward, it's best to cross to the opposite side of the canal to safely backtrack a bit and view the boat lift from below. This way, you can avoid the road.

The lake is located in a kind of park. Not a soul there.

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

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