A beautiful colorful house. Einville-au-Jard is located on an island because of the canal.

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.
