A real steep climb and a beautiful cliff face!

Relatively narrow forest path, a bit winding, with a nice steep section (very short).

Until the mid-19th century, the remains of a Gallo-Roman arch, which marked the northern city limit, were still visible. After being integrated into the fortifications at the end of the 3rd century and becoming a city gate, this structure owes its name either to its length or to a legendary king named Longo, whose effigy was mounted on a corbel overlooking the city. Around 1538, a barbican was built in front of the gate to prevent a frontal assault.

Beautiful running route along the historic fortress wall.

Pleasant single-track forest trail, relatively technical but where you can pick up a bit of speed, which winds towards the edge of the woods between Piépape and Chassigny.

This powder magazine was built starting in 1842, at the same time as the Langres Citadel. Buried beneath an embankment, it features a 7-meter-high storage chamber containing the barrels of black powder, as well as a surrounding ventilation gallery. Between the two are vents and lighting niches (torches were placed here, separated from the chamber by a glass pane to prevent the powder from igniting). Unfortunately, the building is only open to visitors very occasionally (during Heritage Days, for example).

This gate owes its name to the old mills located outside the fortifications to harness the wind (the "Bel'air," which gave the square its name). It is part of the bastion fortifications built south of the city walls between 1642 and 1647.

A beautiful local recreation area for hiking, swimming, and other recreational activities. The path around the lake is more suitable for hiking than cycling. We still managed it, though.
