A small relief to ride flat along the canal for a while when you come from the hilly area.

The church of Salonnes has a rich history dating back to the 8th century, when it was built to house the relics of Saint-Privat and Saint-Hilaire. After being destroyed during conflicts over the salt mines and later the Thirty Years' War, it was rebuilt in 1540 and again in 1750. The most striking element is the Gothic portal, which is the only original part from the 16th century to have been preserved. Made of Jaumont stone, it features an accolade arcade flanked by pinnacles. Three Gothic niches above the double doors recall the ornate style of the late Gothic period.

The canal is worth a bike trip - although the section between Nancy and Xouaxange does not offer such outstanding landscapes.

it is very relaxing to drive along the canal - we enjoyed it very much. The rains have made the canal almost green in colour. The grass also seems to grow very quickly - along the canal path. I always thought it was green - not straw coloured.

The cycle paths in this area are almost new and great to ride. The existing cycle paths should also be maintained - e.g. grass and trees should be cut! It is easy to have cycle paths built with EU money, they look great and are wonderful to ride on! But it is also clearly visible to everyone if they are not maintained in the years to come. On our trip from Nancy to Xouaxange we experienced by far the worst maintained cycle paths on the canal - and we had almost 2300 km (canal kilometers) behind us in France. It is just strange that this area is one of the richest regions in the whole of France.

Marsal is a small hamlet with a very salty history: from the Bronze Age until the middle of the 17th century, the village knew how to use its salt water sources to prosper in the salt trade. Today, nothing remains of the saltworks and Marsal today looks like a peaceful village. If you wish, you can organize a guided tour with the Pays du Saulnois Tourist Office on 03 87 01 16 26.
