Departure from Moussey (Moselle) (Moselle)
The footwear manufacturer Thomas Bata founded Bataville in 1931 (the factory closed in 2001). This is the rather unusual starting point for this route. It is an attraction in its own right. The route also invites us to discover the magnificent Hellocourt estate and Romécourt Castle. The Saulnois is a land of ponds, and our journey also takes in the two superb ponds at Laxière and Le Moulin. We also follow some very beautiful forest paths through the Bois de Chabosses.

This circuit will introduce you to an industrial and urban area of Lorraine that has been recognised as a historic monument and protected heritage site since 2014.
You will also follow the Marne-Rhine Canal and six of its former locks, now replaced by a single lock known as "la grande écluse" (the big lock).
A bucolic walk that combines wooded and aquatic environments.

Departure from Réchicourt-le-Château (Moselle)
The Réchicourt-le-Château Lake occupies a rather unusual position. The Marne-Rhine Canal has crossed it since 1965. In fact, it was decided at that time to build the “Grand Écluse”, which made it possible to bypass nearly six locks on the old canal. As a result, a section of the route is a path flanked on either side by part of the lake. Another major attraction is the Grand Écluse itself, which features numerous facilities for tourists.

Departure from Dieuze (Moselle)
The Saulnois region is often described as the “Land of Salt and Ponds”. This description is well-deserved, and this route features nearly six ponds. Apart from the Étang des Essarts, which has been developed, the others are managed by the Lorraine Nature Conservancy and are completely unspoilt. Here you’ll discover a rich variety of wildlife, vegetation and colours that bear witness to a protected environment. The picnic area by the side of the main road is halfway along the route and can prove very useful.

This walk, in the heart of the Saulnois region, will allow us to discover the King’s Oak. Louis XIV is said to have camped near this oak, which is estimated to be four centuries old. It is situated in the woods opposite Château-Voué, a village steeped in history. It is no longer so easy to find today, and I invite you to join me in discovering and admiring it. You will also have the opportunity to visit Château-Voué (the castle ruins and fortified house), as well as to walk along the beautiful Étang de Wuisse.
