First route tested. Pleasantly surprised, well signposted, allowing you to discover places without fear of getting lost. Clean route, even though it has rained heavily in recent days. Lots of canals, so a bit monotonous, but the stretch through the fields was nice and there were beautiful views of Nancy, Vandoeuvre, etc.
