Departure from Vaux (Moselle) (Moselle)
A mountain bike ride between Vaux and Gravelotte through an area fortified by the Germans between 1912 and 1916 to protect Metz. Remember that at that time (from 1870 until 1918), Alsace and Moselle were part of the German Empire.

Departure from Gesnes-le-Gandelin (Sarthe)
An easy loop in the Pays Gesnois, with 80% of the route on dirt tracks, including some pretty sunken lanes. A few heritage sites to discover: the wash house on Rue de Liberté, the church, Place de la Maréchalerie, the Château de Vaux and the Aune Durand wash house in La Roche.

Departure from Le Ban-Saint-Martin (Moselle)
Discover the slopes of the Moselle AOC by bike through the vineyards and cellars of our local winegrowers in the Metz region, with stops at Robert Schuman's house, the Gallo-Roman aqueduct and the memorial to the Battle of Dornot-Corny. The return journey will follow the Voie Bleue along the banks of the Moselle. Warning: this route is quite technical, especially on the way there, and uses stony paths. It can be dangerous in wet conditions, so don't forget your protective gear and take care.

Departure from Lorry-lès-Metz (Moselle)
The V50 cycle route (Luxembourg - Lyon) crosses the Messine conurbation, running alongside the Moselle from La Maxe to Augny. Like the author, who set off from Lorry-lès-Metz, it is easy to join the route and follow it to Blénod-lès-Pont-à-Mousson, between ponds and wetlands, riding mostly on dedicated cycle paths. Then you cross "Little Lorraine Switzerland" on quiet roads to rejoin the Moselle at Liverdun, nestled in one of its beautiful meanders. Following the river along the V533 greenway, you soon come into view of Toul Cathedral, the first stop on the journey.
