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

The church of Salonnes has a rich history dating back to the 8th century, when it was built to house the relics of Saint-Privat and Saint-Hilaire. After being destroyed during conflicts over the salt mines and later the Thirty Years' War, it was rebuilt in 1540 and again in 1750. The most striking element is the Gothic portal, which is the only original part from the 16th century to have been preserved. Made of Jaumont stone, it features an accolade arcade flanked by pinnacles. Three Gothic niches above the double doors recall the ornate style of the late Gothic period.

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

A beautiful colorful house. Einville-au-Jard is located on an island because of the canal.

The cycle paths in this area are almost new and great to ride. The existing cycle paths should also be maintained - e.g. grass and trees should be cut! It is easy to have cycle paths built with EU money, they look great and are wonderful to ride on! But it is also clearly visible to everyone if they are not maintained in the years to come. On our trip from Nancy to Xouaxange we experienced by far the worst maintained cycle paths on the canal - and we had almost 2300 km (canal kilometers) behind us in France. It is just strange that this area is one of the richest regions in the whole of France.

Léomont hill in Vitrimont was the scene of violent fighting between the French and German armies during the First World War. A monument commemorates the soldiers of the Iron Division who defended it. From the top of the hill you can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The Colline du Léomont is a place of memory and nature that will appeal to history buffs and nature lovers.
