Ligny-en-Barrois
This pocket-sized town in the Meuse département of northeastern France, Ligny-en-Barrois sits alongside the Rhine-Marne canal and carries a "Village étape" designation — a French quality label for travellers stopping along a route — awarded since 2005. A short drive southeast of Bar-le-Duc, it has a modest central core with cafés and restaurants, and the canalside setting gives it some photographic appeal for those passing through the Lorraine region.
