A beautiful route for the whole family, which will take you in the footsteps of the Great War and through the Lunéville countryside, where you can admire a 360° landscape. Magnificent view of the blue line of the Vosges mountains.

Description of the walk

Leave your vehicle in the Friscati Necropolis car park.

(S/E) Follow the path of remembrance on your left (Allée Wibrotte, marked with a red ring) to the top of Léomont, passing through the hamlet of Les Quatre Vents and crossing the D2G.

(1) At the summit, you will find an information panel, the Léomont Memorial, and an orientation table with a 360° view. Retrace your steps to the previous crossroads.
Follow the red ring markings towards Deuxville.
You will rejoin the D2G.

(2) Follow it to the left for about 100 metres, then turn right onto the path through the fields, still following the red ring towards Deuxville.
You will reach a farm track marked with a red diamondGR®534.

(3) Turn right onto this track and follow the signs through the village.

(4) At the village exit, heading towards Maixe, take the path on the right between two houses at the bend, which climbs quite steeply up to the plateau. Continue to follow the red diamond markings, crossing another road (the D70A) and taking the path directly opposite.
You will come to another wide farm track.

(5) Follow it westwards, i.e. to the right, to reach the Ferme Saint-Epvre.

(6) At the farm, turn left, continuing on theGR®534, and cross a small forest via a slightly muddy path to reach the Sentier des Folies.

(7) Descend to the right, along the Sentier des Folies, leaving theGR® here, until you reach the La Galopade equestrian centre.

(8) Turn right, pass in front of the La Galopade equestrian centre and go back up the road to the starting car park (S/E).

A beautiful route that has the advantage of being varied, both in terms of its landscapes and its trails.
It also has historical interest, with references to the First World War.

An easy, very pleasant route with magnificent views, particularly from Léomont, which dominates the surrounding landscape.
We also enjoyed the small Léomont memorial museum, which is not mentioned in the description.
The museum was open (on Saturday afternoon) and a volunteer from the Association even opened the chapel on the site for us.
It's interesting, even if the premises are a little cramped.

A lovely walk with beautiful unobstructed views along the entire route. Invigorating with the gentle March breeze and glorious sunshine. Take care in hot weather as there is little shade. Apart from a few benches near the summit of Léomont, there are no suitable spots for a picnic break.

A lovely walk, just the way we like them, with a variety of points of interest: places steeped in history, sweeping panoramic views, nature everywhere you look, and a few hills to spice things up... Perfect for exploring a new region!

A lovely bucolic walk with a stop at the Léomont monument, a reminder of the absurdity of wars where men are still used as cannon fodder.

Easy, undulating hike, especially in the direction suggested by Visorando. With two steep climbs (towards the Léomont monument and in Deuxville)
varied route, woods, paths, small roads. Peaceful. Pleasant countryside, even at this time of year.
the route in Deuxville needs to be more precise to avoid a wrong turn (direction Maixe indicated on two signs, one on the right, one on the left... take the one on the left in the village).
lovely views
visit to the Léomont museum possible during opening hours.
in any case, a lovely walk!

It would be good to put up one or two additional signs between the St-Epvre farm and the Sentier des Folies.
No problem with the rest of this beautiful route.
Thank you to the volunteers, we discovered a place with magnificent scenery and a rich history.

A very pleasant route, consistent with the description in every respect, offering excellent value for money in terms of ease and interest.
Be careful, however, in the village of Deuxville, as the signposts are not always obvious, so keep your eyes peeled!
If, like us, you set off on your walk in bright sunshine, make sure you take drinks and a hat with you, as most of the route is uncovered.
Thank you, Visorando.
