The word côtes has nothing maritime about it here: these are cuestas. The Côte de Moselle, a limestone cuesta running north to south, overlooks the valley from Liverdun and Pont-à-Mousson, with clean views over the river's meanders.

Around Nancy, the Haye forest and the Villers-lès-Nancy plateau offer a large state massif reachable by tram, heavily used for short outings.

The north of the department, a former steel basin, gives more unexpected routes between forest-reclaimed industrial land, pithead sites and the Orne and Woigot valleys.

When to go — Autumn is the best season in the Haye forest. The plateau tracks stay walkable all winter.
