While staying on the asphalt, you can cover more than 24 km. From the St. Brice Courcelles side, you can go up to La Neuvillette, then to Courcy, it's an unpaved road (passable but not for road bikes). After Courcy, there's asphalt up to Berry au Ferry (this allows you to discover the Sapigneul Owl, about 150 m on dirt road). On the other side, after Sillery, you can continue to Beaumont (asphalt). Then, on a dirt road passable by mountain bike, you can go to the Billy Arch, where the canal passes through a tunnel.

From its inauguration, residents criticized the fountain's weak water flow of only 12 liters per second, and the nude naiads representing the rivers caused public controversy. During World War II, German occupiers removed the bronze statue, but remarkably the fountain remained intact despite 60% of Reims being destroyed during the war.

The Subé Fountain stands in Place Drouet-d'Erlon in central Reims, funded by local benefactor Auguste Subé's donation of 200000 gold francs and inaugurated on July 15, 1906. The 17-meter tall column, made from Corgoloin and Chassignelles stone and decorated with vine motifs, represents the city of Reims and local industries including commerce, viticulture, industry, and agriculture. At its base, four naiads symbolize the rivers Suippe, Marne, Vesle, and Aisne that flow through the Marne department, while a golden Victory statue crowns the top.
