Juville walks

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.

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.

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...

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.

A short route that passes by the pleasant Jeandelaincourt pond.

This route offers a variety of landscapes typical of the Grand Couronné coastline. Orchards and vineyards at the start of Moivrons, then discover the magnificent panorama of the Seille and Natagne valleys from the limestone lawns of Mont Saint-Jean or at the edge of the Bois de la Dame.

A very pleasant walk offering magnificent views stretching over 100 km in all directions, depending on weather conditions (before a spell of rain).

Setting off from Moivrons (54760) towards Leyr, join the Mauchère Greenway (cycle path), which links Montenoy to Custines whilst passing through pretty villages in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department. North of Custines, you’ll cycle alongside the Moselle as far as the village of Millery, then head further north before turning east to return to Moivrons via the quiet D10 and the villages of Belleau (with an optional visit to Morey and its Romanesque church) and Sivry.

A circular route allowing you to discover the Seille, Natagne, Moselle and Mauchère valleys, starting from Moivrons. A varied and very pleasant route allowing you to hike on the plateaus with superb views. Halfway along the route, refreshments are available in Custines.

A lovely circular route offering a variety of scenery; valleys and plateaus are on the itinerary, with some beautiful views.

It's all in the title. The views along the route are breathtaking. When you reach the Sivry valley, you'll find yourself in a truly enchanting landscape. This hike is full of discoveries, including animals (llamas, mouflons, etc.) whose presence is unexpected at the site of the former microlight flying club. What's more, there is great variety, with part of the route in the forest and the other in open fields. Remember to bring a pair of binoculars, as they will come in handy.

Panoramic view of the Seille and Mauchère valleys and beautiful views of the Amance coast and beyond. Route combining challenging climbs and peaceful paths on the plateau.

A loop between Grémecey and Vic-sur-Seille, starting on the GR®5, mainly in the woods, returning on minor roads. You'll need a GPS, as the signposting is poor in places and there are many false trails. By false trails, we mean beautiful, wide paths where you can walk happily, forgetting to turn off onto small paths where the start is hard to see. The start through the woods is pleasant and shady, after the visit to Vic-sur-Seille, which is well worth the effort. You have to get back by the shortest route, and the small roads make this possible. An attempt to return via the old railway line proved impossible. Before entering the Forêt Domaniale de Grémecey, there are some very fine views.

This route offers superb panoramic views and consists mainly of forest tracks. In the Saulnois region, the village of Grémecey is associated with the Gallo-Roman villa located in the communal forest. It was unearthed in 1960 and then reburied some thirty years later. This route pays tribute to Paul Beugnette, from Fresnes-en-Saulnois, who collected numerous artefacts. He set up a small museum which delighted many schoolchildren in the Saulnois region.

There are some stunning panoramic views along this route starting from Sivry. Don’t miss the animals at the site of a former airfield. The sections through the forest are particularly pleasant, with picturesque paths and a remarkable setting.

Back in the 1970s, like many schoolchildren from the Saulnois region, I visited the Gallo-Roman villa at Grémecey. It was subsequently buried and somewhat forgotten. For a long time, I believed that no remains of it existed. It has indeed become difficult to find, as it is surrounded by dense vegetation. This route takes you there, allowing you to see the remains of this building steeped in history. The route presents no significant difficulty.

This walk around Château-Salins will offer you some superb panoramic views of the Saulnois region. Two-thirds of the route takes place in the forest. You’ll have the great honour of walking along the Chemin de la Reine, so named because it was trodden (after being restored) in 1725 by the new Queen of France, Marie Leszczynska. She was travelling with her entire entourage to join Louis XV. It’s worth noting that one section of this path is a particularly impressive tunnel of greenery.

This walk will introduce you to one of the jewels of the Saulnois region: Vic-sur-Seille. The route offers a leisurely stroll through the village. You’ll also be able to enjoy exceptional panoramic views, particularly from the Chemin du Haut de Phara.

This route takes you to the Majurin valley from Château-Salins. The Majurin is a stream that flows through a plain surrounded by small woods. The valley is very close to Coutures and Château-Salins, yet you feel as though you are in the heart of the countryside, far from it all. The walk offers some beautiful panoramic views. It alternates pleasantly between sections deep in the forest and out in the open. As it presents no difficulties, this circular walk is ideal for a family outing.

A circular walk starting from Montenoy with views of the Natagne and Mauchère valleys. The route alternates between countryside and forest landscapes.

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.

Short circular walk starting from Faulx, towards Malleloy, passing under the Bois de Rumont on the way there and via the Mauchère Greenway on the way back.
