Lesménils walks

This historical walk (First World War) winds its way from one battlefield to another. The route runs between two strategic points: Le Xon, occupied by the French on French territory, and Le Froidmont, on German territory following Germany's annexation of Alsace and Moselle in 1870.

A pleasant little walk around the village of Bouxières-sous-Froidmont, suitable in all weathers as the paths are paved and present no particular difficulty.

Between the botanical trail and the old stones of Mousson Castle.

Pass by the summit of Butte de Mousson, with its castle ruins, and Butte de Xon, with its trenches dating from the First World War.

Hike between Arry, Mardigny and Lorry-Mardigny to visit their forests, limestone grasslands and local buildings. The Arry hillside offers panoramic views of the Moselle valley, the Rupt de Mad and the Seille valley. Flora: several species of orchids, aster amelle, stinking hellebore, meadow sage, crane's bill, viper's bugloss... Fauna: peacock butterflies and green hairstreak butterflies, whinchat birds, yellowhammer, linnet, thrush, finch, chiffchaff, smooth snake, birds of prey...

This is a pleasant route with no major difficulties, except perhaps at the end with a steep 400-metre climb. Take care in hot weather as there are several sections without shade.

A route in Lorraine which, starting from the pretty little picturesque village of Prény, offers all kinds of contrasts: valley and plateau, forest and vineyard, town and village, medieval castle and high-speed train line.

Route through the forest offering beautiful views of the Esch Valley and the Moselle Valley. The return trip along the canalised Moselle offers views of herons, cormorants and possibly deer in the plain.

A lovely walk to discover charming villages along the winding course of the Esch stream.

This route will take you through part of the Rupt de Mad valley before the river flows into the Moselle, and to one of its typical villages, Bayonville. Discover the Rudemont plateau via a route that takes you off the beaten track.

A beautiful walk in the heart of an environment protected by the Conservatoire des Sites Lorrains (limestone grasslands) with a magnificent view of the Moselle and Rupt de Mad valleys.

Observe the Gorzia valley, cross the Bayonville woods to the Mazagran farm, and admire the Rupt de Mad and Moselle valleys from the top of the Rudemont hill.

Most of the route follows dirt tracks and paths through or along the edge of the forest, avoiding tarmac roads as much as possible. The towns of Novéant and Gorze reveal beautiful old stones, evidence of the presence of builders since time immemorial.
