Burthecourt-aux-Chênes walks

On the lands of Charles-Nicolas-Sigisbert Sonnini de Manoncourt, french naturalist, born on1 February 1751 in Lunéville and died on 9 May 1812 in Paris.

Many fruit trees to see along the way. Departure from Coyviller, then visit Manoncourt-en-Vermois, the Charles Sonnoni memorial and return to Coyviller.

A pleasant walk around Fléville, Gérardcourt and Laneuveville-Devant-Nancy, combining the countryside (panoramic view of the surrounding towns) and walking along the canal with its locks and birds.

A route combining a visit to Fléville-devant-Nancy with its Renaissance castle and the rolling landscapes of the Vermois; it follows some sections used in the distant past (a Gallo-Roman road) or more recently (harnessed horses at the beginning of the 20th century). Route updated in January 2026.

A getaway from the centre of Richardménil to its neighbouring towns: Méréville, Messein, Ludres and Fléville. This almost triangular route follows or runs alongside the old freight routes: the Canal de l'Est, now the Canal des Vosges, the Canal de Jonction and the old railway lines serving the Ludres-Fléville industrial zone. If you cross this industrial zone during the week, you will understand why barges and trains no longer run in the area... Route updated in January 2026.

A beautiful walk through orchards, with views of the Vosges mountains and Nancy. This walk is particularly interesting in April when the mirabelle plum trees are in bloom.

Pleasant walk along the canal on the way there and back around the ponds.

A very varied route for those who enjoy long hikes or training in the mountains or on trails. Hikers will appreciate the views, while trail runners will enjoy the alternation between flat sections and steep slopes. The route is designed to achieve a relatively high elevation gain/length ratio for this region. There are numerous shortcuts available if needed.Updated in December 2025.

Circular starting from Ludres, crossing the old village, with panoramic views of the Moselle valley above Messein and crossing the Cité d'Affrique (Camp Leuque). A gentle section on the plateau but also some steep passages. Route designed to accumulate elevation gain (well suited to Nordic walking) but with possible detours. Route modified at the end of 2025 to take into account previously issued opinions.

Varangéville is the last town in France with an active mine. This mine extracts rock salt. This hike offers views of the mine facilities and the Basilica of Saint-Nicolas-de-Port.

This easy walk will take you to a Romanesque church rebuilt in 1870, featuring a tower and a triple nave. You can also discover a draisine that could pull small wagons, after crossing the sensitive natural area of Le Plain. This protected area is rich in flora and fauna.

A roller coaster ride around the Grand Canyon with beautiful views of Nancy, the south of the conurbation, the Vermois and the Vosges (Donon). The route is designed as two circular loops with a viewpoint in the middle. An easy section (start and finish) through the classic forest of the Plateau de Haye, but also a beautiful limestone lawn; a passage by the Fonteno stream in the heart of the old village of Houdemont and a more technical section on the hillside, with alternating flat sections and sometimes steep climbs. Route updated in December 2025.

This is an easy hike, passing by the Saint-Joseph cliffs and the Cité d'Affrique, mainly in the woods, offering beautiful views of the Saint-Joseph cliffs and the Moselle valley, and allowing you to explore the ruins of the Cité (also known as Camp) d'Affique, a Gallic archaeological site dating from the early Iron Age, around 500 BC. The Visorando app is recommended.

An easy family walk around Dombasle-sur-Meurthe with varied landscapes and views.

An undulating, easy circuit among the mirabelle plum trees on the heights of the Moselle.

Hike between the wild Moselle, ponds and the Canal de l'Est (southern branch). A very pleasant route in spring or summer. Beautiful views of the wild Moselle and the canal.
