This route, which is accessible to all, is suitable for walking and hiking. It allows you to discover the small local heritage such as the old border markers, the Voie de Soixante (a narrow railway line which transported ammunition and supplies to the forts of the Maginot Line) and the Chapelle de Bassompierre with its characteristic choir of the Lorraine religious buildings of the early 12th century. You can also visit the violin-making workshops in the centre of the village of Bassompierre.
Following the 1870 war and the Frankfurt Peace Treaty of May 10, 1871, the territories of Alsace-Moselle became German. Northern Moselle (Jarny and Longwy) remained French. Boundary markers were installed when the Meurthe et Moselle département was created. These markers demarcate the various "Franco-German" territories. Indeed, some communes became German. France gave Germany twelve communes in the Pays Haut Mosellan.
The Bassompierre chapel, also known as the Saint-Luc chapel, is now part of the Boulange commune. It is an ancient Romanesque building. This style was developed by monastic orders between the 10th and 12th centuries. It was the burial place of the local lord, marquis and later baron of Bassompierre. At the time, the chapel belonged to the Château de Bassompierre.
The "voie de 60" is an old railroad line linked to the Maginot line. The Boulange station was used to transfer material and men between the normal track and the network of fortress 60s. This track linked major artillery works such as Molvange and Rochonvillers. It was mainly used for supplies to various works. Not all military works are equipped with railways. They are supplied by truck.
