Tannois walks

This 9km circular takes you to the Belvédère de Tannois and offers exceptional views over the Ornain valley.

This 24 km circular is quite difficult with an elevation gain of 400 m, hence its name. Picnic tables are available in all the villages along the route. The route takes 6 hours (including a picnic). 40% of the route is shaded. In Stainville, visit the 16th-century Saint-Mathieu Church with its baldachin altar, oil paintings of Christ, the Château de Choiseul and the 19th-century stone fountain.

Well-marked hike mainly in the forest, passing near the developed chasms (wooden barriers). Yellow, white and redPR® markings for theGR® 14 and 14B.

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.

Route around the town of Saint-Dizier, along the Marne and the canals. Markings: large blue dots on the pavements, pedestrian crossings marked "La grande boucle" and blue circle wooden markers.

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).

Near the village of Dompcevrin, this 12 km Vent des Forêts hike takes you on a journey of discovery through the Meuse forest, where you can admire various works of art.

Walk in the Der woods, passing by the dykes, the port and the Nemours peninsula. Moderator's warning (03/07/2022): path reported as impassable from (7).

Balade en Meuse, sympathique au milieu des bois, offrant une belle vue sur Rigny-la-Salle et ses alentours.

A short, bucolic walk in the forest between Bailly-aux-Forges and Laneuville-à-Rémy. Most of the route is in the forest, which is very pleasant in summer. In winter, the southern part can be a little damp.

Walk around Lac du Der on paved cycle paths through the forest and along the dykes.

Promenade champêtre dans la Forêt Domaniale du Der avec une partie en sous-bois, une partie autour d'un étang et une partie sur le GR®14B.

From the port of Giffaumont, follow the lake shore through the forest, looping around the Étang Chevalier and the Queue du Der, then return via Braucourt Beach and the south basin dyke.

A beautiful walk around Thilleux, Rozières and Sommevoire with a lovely view from the heights above Rozières. Please note: you will pass through the courtyard of Moulin des Prés; permission must be requested from the owner.

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 memorial hike on a site where very deadly battles took place between February and April 1915, considered by some historians to be a prelude to the Battle of Verdun (nearby), which was triggered a year later. Several monuments and numerous remains mark the route, including impressive craters left by huge explosions.

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!
