An easy hike on the edge of the Vôge, in the Darney forest. A double circular to be done in a day, featuring monuments and ruins from different periods.

Starting from the pretty village of Grandrupt-de-Bains with its beautiful old houses, this hike will take you to a place where the Resistance fighters lived and trained in August and September 1944, but above all a place of remembrance.

A few sections on the road allow us to pass through forests, meadows and farmland, as well as rural areas.

The Madon and its tributaries are waterways that are important to preserve and maintain, both to limit flooding and for the environment, as they are sources of biodiversity and are responsible for the landscapes you will pass through on this walk.

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!
