Departure from Metz (Moselle)
Starting from Fort Queuleu, this walk will allow you to discover or rediscover the varied landscapes of southern Metz. After exploring the surroundings of Fort Queuleu, a historic landmark, you will reach the village of Peltre and its famous orchards, where you will have the opportunity to pick fruit depending on the season and your preferences. This village was named in 2020 and 2021 in the ranking of the best places to live among towns with fewer than 2,000 inhabitants. You will then return towards the Technopole district, walking along the paths of Lakes Ariane and Symphonie, two biodiversity reserves.

Departure from Peltre (Moselle)
This lovely route will allow you to explore the ‘green lung’ of the southern part of the Metz conurbation. Situated between Peltre and Pournoy-la-Grasse, the Bois de l’Hôpital is six kilometres long and three kilometres wide. It’s an ideal walk for a change of scenery whilst still being in the heart of the metropolitan area; in particular, you’ll be able to enjoy the tranquillity of the place as well as a wide variety of tree species. As a historic site, you’ll also find information boards along the route explaining the history of this former military zone.

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.
