ENS Circuit The meadows along the Moselle
The Sensitive Natural Areas policy of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department aims to preserve remarkable sites.
The Moselle Riverside Meadows site benefits from a prefectural biotope protection decree, and since 2009, the municipality of Pagny-sur-Moselle has acquired most of the land in order to carry out numerous preservation and development activities. It is composed of alluvial meadows and former gravel pits. The alluvial meadows on the banks of the Moselle, which have become very rare in Lorraine, give this site regional importance.
A 2 km educational trail will teach you everything about the animal and plant riches of this site, as well as its history.

THE CIRCUIT OF THE MONUMENTS OF THE WAR OF 1870
Between Vionville, Rezonville and Gorze, the marked circuit "the paths of memory 1870" passable on foot, on horseback or by mountain bike allows you to cover part of the battlefield of August 16, which has remained almost unchanged since 1870.

Things to see along the way:
A first group of monuments, including the one called the Eagle (in memory of the eagle which dominated the stone pyramid which still exists today), offers a clear view to the east.
From the Prince Friedrich-Karl monument, located on the ridge, the view extends as far as the Meuse Mountains, more than 30 km away! It was from this spot that the Prince commanded the battle on August 16.
The Death Ride website describes the assault on French positions by nearly 800 Prussian cavalry.
