A territory with wide open spaces, a third of which are covered in forest, the Meuse is made for hiking. It boasts over 4,500 km of protected tracks, 800 km of which are signposted. This network of tracks is accessible to all, hikers and countryside enthusiasts. Two Grande Randonnée footpaths run through the Meuse: the GR 14 and the GR 714, an 800-km network of regional paths and four themed tracks accessible on foot, horseback or mountain bike.

LE VENT DES FORÊTS (Wind in the forests)
Since 1997, six woodland villages have been hosting international artists on summer residencies. The fruits of these visits, over 130 works, have been created along 45 kilometres of specially-signposted and footpaths, freely accessible from March to September.  Enriched by the encounter of the artists' personal approaches with our rural wooded setting, the works of the Vent des Forêts will punctuate your path with moments of charm, surprise, pleasure or wondering. Conference-trail, subject to booking.

THE MIRABELLE TRAIL
Covering 77 km, this trail enables you to set out on horseback or mountain bike on an exploration of the Côtes de Meuse and the Hauts de Meuse regions. On the agenda: a superb panorama of the medieval village of Hattonchâtel and over the Meuse valley. You will pass through vineyards and orchards, and visit the cellars of our wine producers. You'll explore the wooded massif of the Hauts de Meuse, the chalky lawns of Génicourt sur Meuse and be treated to sweeping views over the Woëvre plain.
Duration: 2 days - accommodation available in a trekking lodge or hotel.

JOAN OF ARC TRAIL
Created in 1995, the Circuit Jeanne d'Arc, open to trekkers of all types, provides 80 km of tracks brimming with history. Here you will find the house where Joan of Arc was born, the Bermont chapel where she used to come to gather her thoughts, Montigny-lès-Vaucouleurs where she bought her horse, Vouthon, the village where her mother Isabelle Romée was born, and of course Vaucouleurs, "the town that armed Joan of Arc".
Duration: 2 days - accommodation available in a trekking lodge or hotel.

THE SAINT-MIHIEL SALIENT TRAIL
An essential strategic zone from 1914 to 1918, the Saint-Mihiel salient still bears the scars of the terrible fighting that took place here over 4 years. The Bois d'Ailly, the Bois Brûlé (burnt wood) and Tranchée de la Soif (trench of thirst) bear witness to the suffering endured by the soldiers.
A visit to the extraordinary site of the Bavarois and Roffignac trenches, whose layouts remain intact after 90 years, is sufficient to relive the daily lives of the soldiers in the two camps.
Duration: 1 day
