    Unwind in the heart of unspoilt nature

    Just imagine, 30% of the region is covered in forest, dotted with meadows, valleys and orchards, with Natura 2000 sites, the Lorraine Regional Nature Park and the unmissable Lac de Madine, with its huge expanse of water and fine sandy beach for unforgettable family moments...

    Wide open spaces criss-crossed by numerous rivers and above all its eponymous river, the Meuse, one of the largest in Europe. Over 900km long, it rises in Haute-Marne and ends its course in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The La Meuse à vélo cycle route follows its course, with several stages in the département. It's a great way to combine sporting activities in the fresh air with cultural discoveries in the stopover towns of Saint-Mihiel, Verdun and Stenay.

    As you can see, the Meuse is a real paradise for nature lovers and those who dream of taking a break, contemplating the countryside and slow tourism.
