The Voie Bleue owes its name to the Moselle, which accompanies it from start to finish: the blue of the river follows us like our shadow! In the Grand Est region, the Voie Bleue follows the river for almost 250km via the towpaths and the Canal des Vosges. It's a completely flat stretch, but above all it's reserved exclusively for bikes: ideal for a first cycling experience. The gentle setting sets the tone: you pedal at your own pace, with the sole aim of enjoying the scenery, its colours and the animals that thrive there, as evidenced by the concert of chirping birds! At once historic, heritage, cultural and gastronomic, the Voie Bleue en Grand Est is the route for every kind of initiation!

As you cycle along the Meuse river, you're in for a journey to the heart of French history in the Grand Est region!

Finally, we continue to Charleville-Mézières, birthplace of the poet Arthur Rimbaud, where his life is retraced in frescoes highlighting the poet's sublime texts. Let's swap our history textbooks for a cycling trip along the Meuse - there's (almost) as much to learn!
