Le ruisseau de l'abreuvoir et la prairie de Rouceux

This protected resurgence of the Meuse is situated 400 metres from the centre of Neufchateau in the district of Rouceux. Walk along the drinking trough and admire the former wash house and the rich and varied fauna and flora surrounding it : willows, wild brown trouts, many birds, toads, green whip snakes. This place is highly preserved since 1997 by the APPB (Biotope protection prefectoral order).

The rich geologic sediment valley of the Meuse is a large alluvial plain where fluctuating water levels contribute to the appearance of a long grass vegetation and its specific animal species.
