Waterside route between La Meuse and Le Rupt de Mad

The ride

Roll out of Montsec and the Parc naturel régional de Lorraine opens up around you. From the nature reserve the route follows La Meuse, then the Rupt de Mad and the Ruisseau le Rupt de Mad, river after river. Of the 74.0 km, almost all is paved, with a small unpaved share, and 588 m of climbing keeps the legs honest. Then it's back to Montsec, where the loop began.
