Bulgnéville walks

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

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.

Throughout this walk, you’ll discover two spa towns (Vittel and Contrexéville) and all they have to offer. You’ll also pass through Bulgnéville, Mandres-sur-Vair and Norroy-sur-Vair, before returning to your starting point.

A pleasant circular route around the spa town, the racecourse and Vittel Golf Club.

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 pleasant, relatively easy circular walk, with a shaded section on the climb up to Maximois and a stretch passing by the Étang de la Neuveville.

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

An easy hike on the edge of the Vôge, in the Darney forest. A double circular to be done in a day, featuring monuments and ruins from different periods.

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.

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!

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 route taking in the Tatal Bridge and the little town of Darney – a must-see.

A lovely walk with plenty of points of interest, including Pont Tatal with its climbing and bungee jumping site, and Froideval Abbey set in lush green surroundings. Many other points of interest await you along the route.

This easy little route, straddling the Vosges and Meurthe-et-Moselle departments, will take you through woods and farmland in rolling, bucolic countryside. Enjoy the fresh air among the ploughed fields and pastures in this little-visited region.
