Breakfast with a bike group from Grevenbroich that I had also met in Metz. This afternoon, we arrived at the IBIS in Epinal almost simultaneously again.

From Nancy, we continue solely along the canals. First, the Canal de Jonction de Nancy, past 12 locks up to the heights at Léville, and on the other side, with a similar number of locks down into the Moselle valley.

I can't identify the species, but the animal can also fly

Then along the Canal des Vosges, which runs parallel to the Moselle upstream. Another about 30 locks. Impressive when you consider that in the past (the canal was built 150 years ago), each lock provided a family with work, income, and housing.

Lunch break in Charmes: bread, pâté, tomato, red wine! What more could you want in France?

Finally, a barge provided proof that the canal is still in operation.
