Choloy-Ménillot walks

A circular route starting with a fairly long climb through meadows, orchards and woodland towards the summit of the Domgermain Plateau. Cross its meadow, a Natura 2000 ecological site, along a hillside path where you will see the remains of fortifications dating from 1876, then descend towards the Val de Passey with a detour to the hamlet of Les Sept Sources (where you can quench your thirst with spring water from the forest) and its ponds.

This route forms the basis for the gourmet walk organised on 27 April 2025. This walk allows you to discover three typical villages in the southern Toulois region: Domgermain, Charmes-la-Côte and Mont-le-Vignoble. Signposting has been put in place along the entire route for the day of the gourmet walk. The route described on Visorando complements this signposting and will subsequently allow you to complete this circular route at your leisure. You will simply need to omit the stages listed in the description. 

This hike is located near the Côtes de Toul vineyards. You will discover the old Fort de Charmes-la-Côte and many vestiges of the past. Pretty tags created by a local graphic designer add to the charm of this hike. The paths and trails are easy to follow and present no danger. However, do not stray from the paths, as there are still many hazards in the undergrowth linked to the activity of the forts. Keep an eye on children and keep dogs on a leash.

This pleasant circuit crosses the communal forest of Foug from the Savonnières farm.

This route follows the ancient valley of the Moselle, which used to flow into the Meuse at Pagny-sur-Meuse before it was diverted, some 200,000 years ago, towards the Meurthe due to the accumulation of alluvial deposits at the Foug weir. Starting from Toul, you follow the Ingressin valley, which runs along the former course of the Moselle; you then cross the Foug weir to emerge into the Val de l’Asne and arrive at Pagny-sur-Meuse at the former confluence of the two rivers.

Follow the contours of Mont St-Michel; no particular difficulty. It’s just a slight climb… a family hike. Moderator’s note added on 20/07/2021: The car park at the start of this walk seems difficult to find (has it disappeared since 2012?). Suggestion: park near (5), close to the sports ground?

A lovely walk along good paths; the route passes through Laneuveville behind Foug with its lovely rest area, picnic tables, stream and the Prensieux fountain. Laneuveville, behind Foug, stands out for its fountains, its colourful shutters and, more unusually, its electricity poles and a few items of street furniture legally decorated by artists. The route leaves Laneuveville via a small tarmac road which quickly turns into the ‘Grand Chemin Blanc’. This section is completely unshaded until you return to the forest after the ‘Faux Moulin’. NOTE: this route follows numerous signposts and, in particular, the Yellow Rings. These are specified in this description.

Follow the circular course of the Moselle between Dommartin-lès-Toul and Gondreville. Visit the Dommartin redoubt and the Chaudeney battery.
