Mouzon (rivière) walks

A lovely walk, offering remarkable views over the Mouzon valley. The route is straightforward for the majority of the walk. The only slightly technical sections requiring your attention are: - Near the landmark (3), the stony descent towards the Grotte de l’Enfer, - After the waypoint (8), the descent down the rudimentary staircase, facing the drop, is a little dizzying.

This stage follows the southern part of the Eurovélo 19 "La Meuse à vélo" route (1,050 km from Langres to Rotterdam). From Neufchâteau, we follow the meandering Mouzon, a tributary of the Meuse. We then leave it behind, taking less travelled but more direct roads that avoid the meanders of the Meuse. We rejoin the EV19 just before the "Source de la Meuse" site, on the Langres plateau crossed by three watersheds. With the plateau reaching a height of 450 m, the gradients are not significant, but on arrival, you will need to make a little effort to climb the promontory on which the Citadel of Langres is perched. Your reward: a splendid view at dusk!
