Cheap, Pitches are clean, hot water. Basic. There is a ticket machine at the back of the building. No shop/boulangerie is close.

At Xures, there's only 50 cm left of the almost 2-meter-wide bike path in places. That was the case last year, too. It's a good thing it didn't rain this time, otherwise our shoes would have been soaking wet again.

We were practically alone on this section of the canal. It's also sparsely populated, so you'll have to search for restaurants! At the lock - no one - unless a boat was in the lock. At least we didn't see anyone else.

This year we booked a room. Very comfortable size. We were able to store and charge our bikes in the shed. We only served breakfast; for dinner, we went down to the canal.

War Memorial: This modest but impressive monument in Vaucourt commemorates 37 French soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of Chasseurs à Pied who died here in 1914. A second plaque honors American soldiers from WWI and resistance fighters from WWII. A silent witness to the sacrifices made in this small village for freedom and peace.

In August 1914, the quiet village of Vaucourt fell victim to the first week of the First World War. During the so-called "Wednesday", the village was attacked, bombed and partly destroyed. Seven civilians were killed. Today, the serene atmosphere of the village is a reminder of the resilience of its inhabitants and the scars of a forgotten front line.

It is sometimes a bad part, where you go bumpy on the cycle path. The cracks are not too bad in my opinion.

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