Start from the Pierre-la-Treiche car park, Route de Viterne, after the playground.
(S/E) From the car park, head towards the bridge over the Moselle via the road, take the second street on the left and cross over the Moselle.
(1) After the bridge, turn left and take the small path between the Moselle and the old railway line, continue straight on until you reach a wider path. Continue along the railway line, passing the old Chaudeney station (on the other side of the railway line).
(2) At the Y-junction, turn right, pass between two walls, turn left then right to continue following the railway line. Go round the old mill on the left, pass the barrier to keep cars out, then go under the motorway.
(3) Take the cycle path to continue along the railway line (a short detour above the Chaudeney dam is possible). At the junction with the D77, cross with care and go straight on along the path between the Moselle and the railway line. Continue along the old railway line.
(4) Before the tunnel under the road, turn left and head up Avenue Foch. When you reach the main road, turn left, cross the Moselle and the wide-gauge canal.
(5) Between the two locks, take the road on the left and continue alongside the narrow-gauge canal. Go round the “Les Grands Moulins” buildings on the right, continue along the canal, pass the shunting locomotive and continue straight ahead.
(6) When you reach the road, turn right, cross over the canal and join the D674, turn left, go under the motorway. Continue along the road alongside the Moselle; after the motorway slip road, opposite the restaurant, cross the road, go past the restaurant and the car park. At the junction of the two roads, keep right, cross the bridge over a stream.
(7) Take the first path on the right, known as Chemin de Valcourt, and continue straight ahead. Pass in front of the Gare-le-Cou Chapel and continue straight ahead, following the Gare-le-Cou Stream.
(8) Go under the motorway and continue straight on along the route of a former railway line that bypassed Toul.
(9) At the concrete bridge, turn left onto a track. Turn left, go under the motorway again and continue along the track to join the D674.
(10) Cross the road carefully and take the field path to the right. Walk 200m and take the first path on the left between two fences, cross the Bouvades stream and join the D904.
(11) At the road, turn left to reach the junction, then right onto the D121 towards Pierre-la-Treiche. Cross the bridge over a stream, then pass the sandpit and continue along the road, passing the Château de la Rochotte and its chapel.
(12) After the château, take the first path on the left, then turn right at the top of the embankment. Cross a small bridge, then pass the old lock no. 52 at Pierre-la-Treiche and continue along the old towpath to reach the car park (S/E).
