Join the tour :Starting from Bruyères, the hybrid bike route starts in town, favouring small and charming streets that allows having a great view of the remains of the Bruyères Castle. The route then heads for the Massif of Helledraye where it takes part of the ant’s pathway. At the junction of four pathways, continue straight on to overlook the Vologne valley. On your right, in about 200meters, you can discover the US memorial and the Friendship knot dedicated to our American liberators in the Second World War. The route continues along the ridge line of the Helledraye massif, which offers you several panoramic views of the Vologne valley before joining the village of Fays. The route allows joining Lépanges Sur Vologne that gives a typical example of the workers' housing estate, witness to our textile industrial past. You can observe it better on your left after you crossed the Vologne when joining Prey then Fiménil. The rest of the route offers multiple crossings and encounters with the Vologne river (river of 1st category: fishing and history linked to the freshwater pearl). Then it joins the Romanesque church of Champ-Le-Duc. Finally, the route goes along the Avison (emblematic mountain of Bruyères) with the discovery of the chapel De La Roche (below in 100meters, the fountain of St Georges). After passing by the old synagogue listed historical monument that is the current Museum Henry Mathieu of Bruyères, the route then joins Place Stanislas in the heart of Bruyères.
