CYCLE ROUTE “VOIE BLEUE” – EPINAL – BAINS LES BAINS

Épinal marks a transition in your cycling journey on the Voie Bleue: you will follow a wild part of the itinerary where the greenway along the Canal des Vosges will be your guiding thread. After cycling along the Bouzey Lake, the water supply of the Vosges canal, you pedal in a bucolic setting with very beautiful landscpaes that were shaped by the alignment of hundred-year-old ash trees. Before arriving in Bains-les-Bains, take the time to stop at the Manufacture Royale, visible from the greenway.
From the port of Epinal, go up the Moselle along the canal towards the canal-bridge, then head for the Bouzey Lake and Bains-les-Bains. The green route is paved and marked out along the canal and its locks, with no difficulty.
Key places:
- Lake Bouzey: the largest lake in the Vosges, swimming allowed, bird watching
- Manufacture de Bains les Bains: former 18th century tinplate factory, free visit
- Thermes de Bains les Bains: spa and relaxation area for the day
