Departure from Neufchâteau (Vosges)
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!

Departure from Peigney (Haute-Marne)
This stage takes place in the Marne catchment area, whose waters flow into the English Channel. Perched on a high hill detached from the plateau, Langres invites us to stroll along its ramparts. Opt for its restaurants rather than the usual picnic.

Departure from Langres (Haute-Marne)
This route, initially designed to connect to the Culmont-Chalindrey railway junction, has been extended to Dijon due to the cancellation of the train service! It crosses the mustard fields of the Côte-d'Or and the former sand pits of La Tille, which have been converted into ponds that are more popular with fishermen than tourists.

Departure from Perrancey-les-Vieux-Moulins (Haute-Marne)
This stage offers the chance to discover some of the springs of the Langres Plateau, whose waters feed into the English Channel. After skirting the marshes, you enter the Auberive State Forest, in the heart of the Forêts National Park. The abbey founded by Saint Bernard in 1132 reveals its secrets. But why Auberive, exactly?
