River constructions
the Inclined Plan of Arzviller
The inclined plane of Arzviller, one of the most remarkable fluvial constructions, and unique in Europe. This boat lift was built in 1969 to replace 17 locks, and enables a change in height of 44 meters. It was closed for a little over 2 years in 2013 following an accident involving a cruise boat, and damage caused by the ferryboat.

Despite Germanic influences, Arzviller remains attached to France and today offers canal-related leisure activities, attracting nature tourism enthusiasts.

Monument
Niderviller
This charming village is ideal for a pleasant break. Between the 17th century pottery works, the church, the castle and the magnificent organ, this village really knows how to make you feel welcome.
Monument
Sarrebourg
6km from the canal, Sarrebourg is worth the detour. In the Chapel of the Cordeliers you will find the biggest stained-glass window that Chagall ever constructed, at more than 12m tall. Between the chapels, churches and temples, Sarrebourg is home to more than 10 religious buildings.
River constructions
the tunnels of Niderviller and Arzviller

Monument
The Church of Niderviller
The Church of Niderviller, originally a modest chapel in 1163, became a parish in 1768. Its bell tower, built in 1762 in a unique Baroque style, reflects the architectural enthusiasm of that era. Despite challenges in construction and renovation, the Catholic community has remained committed to beautifying the church over the centuries.

Monument
La tuilerie
The Niderviller Tile and Brick Factory, established as early as 1727, played a crucial role in tile and brick production for centuries. Its strategic location and abundant natural resources supported significant monthly output by the mid-19th century, employing up to a hundred people by 1930. After World War II, despite competitive challenges, the company was bought in 1966 and continues to operate today under the management of Christophe Henselmann, thus preserving a centuries-old artisanal tradition in the Lorraine region.
