Neufchâteau walks

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!

With the Jubilee Year of Hope, since November 2024, our Catholic Church in the Vosges has developed a proposal: "Saprée Vadrouille, travel journal for paths of hope", with three issues per year focusing on liturgical times and the saints of the Vosges.Several itineraries are proposed in the Vosges as local pilgrimages and paths of hope. This is an opportunity to rediscover our region and our local saints throughout the Vosges department. Each itinerary can be done independently of the others, at any time of year. "Dans le pays de Jeanne" (In the Land of Joan) is the itinerary proposed in the second issue of "Saprée Vadrouille", which you can discover here.

A fairly technical route with some difficulties due to the nature of the terrain.

Starting from Allain, descend into a small valley in the heart of the forest, isolated from the noise of everyday life, where you can see wild boar piglets.

Return via a path lined with periwinkles and pass by a mirabelle plum orchard where you can see deer feasting.

This hike is located near the Côtes de Toul vineyards. You will discover the old Fort de Charmes-la-Côte and many vestiges of the past. Pretty tags created by a local graphic designer add to the charm of this hike. The paths and trails are easy to follow and present no danger. However, do not stray from the paths, as there are still many hazards in the undergrowth linked to the activity of the forts. Keep an eye on children and keep dogs on a leash.
