RouteXpert Review Bert Loorbach, the writer, is an enthusiastic motorcyclist himself and lived in France for a year and a half. During that time he devoted himself to mapping the unknown and beautiful roads of France especially for motorcyclists.
This is the second route from the book. Start in Sedan and end in Bains-les-Bais.
There are hotels and campsites in the vicinity, which are listed as POIs.
This route runs largely along the Maas and on these relaxed roads you can fully enjoy the river landscape that later turns into hills.
Along the way there are a number of beautiful places, museums and other places of interest that are worth visiting.
In Mouzon (RP2), the only place in France where industrial felt is still produced, you can visit The felt museum and the L'Eglise Abbatiale Notre-Dame monastery.
There is a large beer museum in Stenay (RP3).
From Stenay we drive to Verdun. You can go via the D964 which has more long straights or the route as described here via the D123, which is a bit more challenging and leads through the beautiful hilly landscape along the Maas.
Just outside the city of Verdun is the Ossuary of Douaumont (RP5), with one of the most impressive cemeteries in France. This memorial contains the remains of 130,000 unidentified soldiers who died during the Battle of Verdun. Nearby is the Fort de Douaumont (RP7).
In Verdun (RP9), known for the battle at Verdun during the 1st World War, there is a city with a great deal of history, so a good place to pause, visit the city and possibly have lunch on the banks of the Maas.
In Commercy you can visit the castle of Stanislav (RP13).
Via the D964 we continue to Domrémy-la-Pucelle where we can visit the house where Jeanne d'Arc was born and raised (RP15). We continue on the D53 past the Basilica of Bois-Chenu (RP17) where Jeanne d'Arc heard the voices of St-Catherine, Marguerite and Michel.
Via Neufchateau we continue on a beautiful winding road (D164) to our final destination in Bains-les-Bains.
Here are a few hotels and a camping site to spend the night. All POIs have been added.
This route has a lot to offer besides the beautiful and relaxed roads and that is why I rate it with 4 stars.
