Lake Madine and the Côtes de Meuse carry most of the starts. Heudicourt-sous-les-Côtes, Nonsard-Lamarche and Lachaussée line waters created for fish farming or leisure, with flat paths and remarkable birdlife — migrating cranes, storks.

Montsec carries its American memorial, a white stone rotunda atop an isolated knoll, taking in the whole Woëvre plain and the Saint-Mihiel salient.

Vigneulles-lès-Hattonchâtel opens onto the Côtes de Meuse: a limestone cuesta covered in mirabelle plum orchards, with villages clinging halfway up.

When to go — Autumn brings both the crane migration over Madine and the orchard colours. Winter stays walkable on the slopes.
