Flocourt walks

Short hike suitable for children to discover the Petit Étang and Grand Étang lakes. You can observe the flora and fauna... birds of prey, herons, muskrats, frogs, ducks, Egyptian geese, swans, cuckoos, deer... depending on the time of day and the season... there's something for everyone.

Walk on the limestone plateau of the Côte de Delme, between the north (Juville) and south (Puzieux) orientation tables, passing by the Juville quarry. You will discover many views of the Seille valley.

The main highlight of this route is the extraordinary tunnel of greenery, stretching for over a kilometre. This path has recently been restored thanks to the municipality of Xocourt. It was originally a narrow-gauge railway used to transport limes produced in the village of Tincry in the early 20th century. This tunnel offers some remarkable views. It is also worth noting that half of the route offers superb panoramic views towards Delme.

This walk takes place on wide, often shaded paths. It plunges us into the heart of history as we traverse the hill crowned by a forest known as the ‘Camp des Romains’. This is a protohistoric oppidum. There are many traces of it to be seen. We owe much of the discovery of the cave to Régis, our fellow explorer. He is the great-nephew of Jacques Marsal, one of the three discoverers of the Lascaux cave. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree...

A route allowing you to discover one of the highest points in the Saulnois region, at the summit of the Côte de Delme, offering an unrivalled view of the Moselle hillsides.

From Delme onwards, this route follows the old railway line. After the stunning panoramic views from the hill, it also offers another point of interest. Indeed, Xocourt has restored an old path which forms a truly extraordinary ‘tunnel of greenery’ stretching for over a kilometre. This marvel is, in fact, the focus of a shorter walk that is also suggested. Ideally, you should complete the route in a day, with the option of having a picnic at the second orientation table or in Juville.

Circular walk around the small village of Suisse near Morhange. A walk comprising 50 per cent on footpaths and 50 per cent on quiet country lanes.

The woods of Château-Bréhain are criss-crossed with paths. You will therefore need to take care to follow the route and the description carefully. The paths (even those not shown on maps) are very wide and easily accessible. The forest is very beautiful and pleasant.

This route mainly follows paths through fields and, as you walk, reveals magnificent panoramic views of the Saulnois region. Its highlight is the discovery of Mont des Saints, a site undergoing transformation where a series of monumental statues is gradually being erected. Launched in 2023, this ambitious project is led by sculptor Michel Dardaine, whose expertise is bringing the first Lorraine figures to life. The project is a long-term undertaking that will span several decades, offering visitors the pleasure of seeing the site evolve over the years. When you reach the summit, where the route passes, take the time to enjoy an exceptional 360° view, opening onto vast, luminous and particularly photogenic landscapes.

A short walk to explore the countryside east of Metz, taking in field paths, a greenway and a few points of interest. Please note that, depending on the season, part of the route may be muddy.

A walk around Landonvillers through fields, small villages and woods.

This short walk has been designed to allow you to go for a stroll in the Château-Salins area even in very hot weather. Only 50 metres of the route are in the open, and you can park your car in the shade at the starting point. Please note that Coutures is a village associated with Château-Salins (it lies just beyond it). You will only find it on a sat-nav by entering: Coutures, Château-Salins.

The “Gros Max” is an SK-LK/45-type gun installed by the Germans between 1916 and 1917 in the “Le Chaumont” woods, near Hampont. This site has been all but forgotten today. Finding a passable route was no easy task. The location is impressive. Please note that the surrounding area may be dangerous for children or pets. There are cavities in the vicinity caused by countless underground tunnels and other structures.
