The route
After departing Commercy, take the green route along the Meuse. Next, turn right towards Pont-sur-Meuse. Between Brasseitte and Ailly, the route continues along an agricultural road. After Ailly-sur-Meuse, there's a short steep hill. It’s the only way to avoid a very busy road. At the top of this hill you'll find Tranchée de la Soif (the Trench of Thirst) a historical site from the First World War.
