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.

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.

Half of the route takes place through woodland. The paths there are wide and very pleasant. The picnic area in the heart of the woods is quite unique and very welcome on hot days.

This is the most historically significant spot in the Saulnois region. You’ll be following in the footsteps of Attila and the Huns, who once camped here.
