Bourmont walks

Starting from Bourmont, a charming little village in the Haut-Marne region, you’ll go on a short walk through the surrounding forest.

Discover part of the Langres plateau and the Rognon valley. A route through woods and meadows.

A pleasant walk around the site of the former Morimond Abbey and through the woods of the same name. Morimond Abbey, a Cistercian abbey founded in 1115, is the mother house of more than seven hundred monasteries for men and women in France and Europe. The route also takes you past the Morimond Lakes, a series of artificial lakes created by the Cistercian monks to supply water to the abbey’s various outbuildings: gardens, mills, sawmill, nail-making workshop, and so on.

A lovely walk, offering remarkable views over the Mouzon valley. The route is straightforward for the majority of the walk. The only slightly technical sections requiring your attention are: - Near the landmark (3), the stony descent towards the Grotte de l’Enfer, - After the waypoint (8), the descent down the rudimentary staircase, facing the drop, is a little dizzying.

A route that takes you to the Cul du Cerf, a limestone cirque 200 metres wide and 65 metres high, at the bottom of which flows the underground spring known as La Manoise. A Natura 2000-listed site notable for its flora, where you can admire the spring gushing from the ground, protected by a metal grille. A fairly technical route with some difficulties due to the nature of the terrain.

A fairly easy, tree-lined route between two towns renowned for their lakes.

This stage follows the southern part of the Eurovélo 19 "La Meuse à vélo" route (1,050 km from Langres to Rotterdam). From Neufchâteau, we follow the meandering Mouzon, a tributary of the Meuse. We then leave it behind, taking less travelled but more direct roads that avoid the meanders of the Meuse. We rejoin the EV19 just before the "Source de la Meuse" site, on the Langres plateau crossed by three watersheds. With the plateau reaching a height of 450 m, the gradients are not significant, but on arrival, you will need to make a little effort to climb the promontory on which the Citadel of Langres is perched. Your reward: a splendid view at dusk!

Suitable for everyone, this route will allow you to discover the diversity of the landscapes and the rich variety of flora and fauna found in the aquatic and woodland environments.

With a variety of landscapes and natural environments, a rich heritage and a dip to cool off after your walk, here’s what’s in store on this lovely hike!

A trail linking the two spa towns, accessible to all, on foot or by bike.

Club Vosgien route where you will see crosses and calvaries, an altarpiece, a chapel, a church and an ancient Roman road, through the shimmering countryside and deciduous woods.

A short, easy walk with views of Andelot, Montéclair and the Fouillot hill that hides Rimaucourt. You can also see the Moulin district and its very old Tréfilerie factory.

A route showcasing the transition in landscapes and architecture between the Vosges and the Haute-Marne.

A rich and varied route, starting from the Joan of Arc Basilica, taking you to see the strange, twisted beech trees of Sionne (much less famous, and therefore less popular than the Faux de Verzy), through beautiful, unspoilt forests and a few pastures, to discover a well-hidden dolmen. The tour concludes with a visit to Domrémy-la-Pucelle.

With the Jubilee Year of Hope, since November 2024, our Catholic Church in the Vosges has developed a proposal: "Saprée Vadrouille, travel journal for paths of hope", with three issues per year focusing on liturgical times and the saints of the Vosges.Several itineraries are proposed in the Vosges as local pilgrimages and paths of hope. This is an opportunity to rediscover our region and our local saints throughout the Vosges department. Each itinerary can be done independently of the others, at any time of year. "Dans le pays de Jeanne" (In the Land of Joan) is the itinerary proposed in the second issue of "Saprée Vadrouille", which you can discover here.

A walk through meadows, past cows and horses, with beautiful countryside scenery and dirt tracks.
