Entre le Massif de Haye et la Moselle

A beautiful loop that mixes road and forest tracks.

You climb up to Clairlieu and continue straight towards Maron. At the crossroads with the road from Chaligny, turn right onto the Route du Charbonnier and cross the Forêt de Haye until you reach the traffic light at the entrance to Velaine-en-Haye.

Continue straight ahead, then take the bike path that follows an old railway line. The path heads downhill towards the Moselle (great view of Villey-Saint-Étienne). In Aingeray, go under the railway line and follow the canalised Moselle to the lock, where you cross the river and join the Moselle loop cycle route.

Ride through Liverdun and continue to Pompey. When you reach the traffic light, cross the Moselle again. From Frouard, it is a tough climb up to the Plateau des Rays. Turn left in front of the forest lodge, then take the first track to the left. Follow the trail, skirt the military area (Fort de Frouard), and descend into the valley rising from Champigneulles to join the Route du Souvenir français.

Climb up to the roundabout and pass under the highway. Keep climbing straight on, then turn left when the road flattens out. From there you arrive in Clairlieu, where the loop closes.
