A native of this magnificent village in the Moselle valley near Metz, I highly recommend this real Moselle wall, which would make Gramont pale in comparison.
Whether on foot or by bike, your legs are going to get hot, and as a bonus there's a lovely drinking fountain waiting for you 2/3 of the way up.
If you're just passing through, this is a great challenge for you, and the more adventurous can take a mountain bike up to the Croix St Clément and continue straight on.
A point of cultural interest, very violent fighting took place during WW2, in order to cross the Moselle, with more than 945 GIs killed. Beautiful explanatory plaques can be seen on the way back down.
They explain the course of this battle, nicknamed the Omaha Moselle.
Enjoy the ride!

Que ce soit a pied ou en vélo, vos jambes vont chauffer, en prime un beau lavoir potable vous attend au 2/3 de l'ascension.
Si vous êtes de passage, ceci est un très beau défi pour vous, les plus téméraire pouvant monter en VTT à la Croix St Clément en continuant tout droit le parcours.
Point culturel, de très violents combat ont eu lieu lors de la WW2, afin de traverser la Moselle, plus de 945 GI's morts, de belles plaquettes explicatives sont a voir sur le retour en descente.
