Tips from the Community
The largest park in Nancy is centrally located, not far from Place Stanislas. It is spacious with many avenues, individual large trees on lawns, sports and entertainment facilities, and many small pavilions, other structures, and fountains.

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

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.

We were practically alone on this section of the canal. It's also sparsely populated, so you'll have to search for restaurants! At the lock - no one - unless a boat was in the lock. At least we didn't see anyone else.

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.

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.
