Orquevaux walks

A route that takes you to the Cul du Cerf, a limestone cirque 200 metres wide and 65 metres high, at the bottom of which flows the underground spring known as La Manoise. A Natura 2000-listed site notable for its flora, where you can admire the spring gushing from the ground, protected by a metal grille. A fairly technical route with some difficulties due to the nature of the terrain.

A short, easy walk with views of Andelot, Montéclair and the Fouillot hill that hides Rimaucourt. You can also see the Moulin district and its very old Tréfilerie factory.

Starting from Bourmont, a charming little village in the Haut-Marne region, you’ll go on a short walk through the surrounding forest.

Discover part of the Langres plateau and the Rognon valley. A route through woods and meadows.

A walk that allows you to explore Vignory, one of the “small towns of character”, with its Romanesque church and the remains of its feudal castle, as well as the forests and woods surrounding the village.

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!

A rich and varied route, starting from the Joan of Arc Basilica, taking you to see the strange, twisted beech trees of Sionne (much less famous, and therefore less popular than the Faux de Verzy), through beautiful, unspoilt forests and a few pastures, to discover a well-hidden dolmen. The tour concludes with a visit to Domrémy-la-Pucelle.

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 circular route in a region dotted with springs and streams, offering the chance to discover Bonnet, a village with a rich history.

A short walk in the heart of the forest near Domrémy-la-Pucelle. Greux is a small village near Neufchâteau.

An almost entirely shaded route between the Ferme du Fays and the Chaumont Viaduct.

A very pretty walk through the forest and then along the canal, with a slightly steep climb at the beginning but which quickly becomes easier with the descent towards Sommeville. Picturesque spot: the passage under the railway line, then over the river on a metal footbridge.

A beautiful summer walk along the canal, then discover the pretty village of Curel and climb through the forest to reach Chevillon. Beautiful views of the Marne Valley and the Châtonrupt Viaduct (in good weather).

A pleasant walk around the site of the former Morimond Abbey and through the woods of the same name. Morimond Abbey, a Cistercian abbey founded in 1115, is the mother house of more than seven hundred monasteries for men and women in France and Europe. The route also takes you past the Morimond Lakes, a series of artificial lakes created by the Cistercian monks to supply water to the abbey’s various outbuildings: gardens, mills, sawmill, nail-making workshop, and so on.

This route offers panoramic views of several villages in the Marne Valley and takes you on a tour of several archaeological sites.
