Allain walks

Starting from Allain, descend into a small valley in the heart of the forest, isolated from the noise of everyday life, where you can see wild boar piglets. Continue along the valley to a magnificent large oak tree and the Chahalot resurgence, which during high water periods bubbles with clear water from the Aroffe before flowing into the Bouvade. Return via a path lined with periwinkles and pass by a mirabelle plum orchard where you can see deer feasting.

A pleasant walk starting from Ochey, mostly through the woods, allowing you to discover a very pleasant spot, the Fontaine d'Ochey, a pretty turquoise blue resurgence, pouring out a good volume of water at this time of year (early April), but also worth seeing at other times.

A route to discover the heritage of the wine-growing village of Bulligny, its vineyards, woods and mysterious "blue pond". With a beautiful view of the Côtes de Toul vineyards.

Return along the narrow-gauge canal, then via the hamlet of Gare-le-Cou and the Château de la Rochotte.

This hike is located near the Côtes de Toul vineyards. You will discover the old Fort de Charmes-la-Côte and many vestiges of the past. Pretty tags created by a local graphic designer add to the charm of this hike. The paths and trails are easy to follow and present no danger. However, do not stray from the paths, as there are still many hazards in the undergrowth linked to the activity of the forts. Keep an eye on children and keep dogs on a leash.
