27,72 km cycling route from Montigny le Roi to Bourmont
In Montigny-le-Roi, discover the wash houses and fountains before arriving at the Source of the Meuse in Pouilly-en-Bassigny, where you'll really be starting your journey along the Meuse, a 950 km European river. A monument displays its route. A former fortified town situated on a cuesta, Bourmont overlooks the upper Meuse valley. Enjoy a stroll through its ancient narrow streets with their rich and exciting history. And through the Parc des Roches and its Promenade du Côna, listed as "Jardins Remarquables" (Outstanding gardens).
