The Blue Way, Moselle-Saône by bike (registered in the national cycling plan under the code V50), is a cycle route going from the Luxembourg border to Lyon over 700 km. From the North to the South of France, this cycle route is particularly essential for connecting Northern Europe to the Mediterranean. The route takes you along along the Moselle before continuing along the Vosges Canal, and follows the Saône to the city of Gones. In Lyon, the ViaRhôna (EuroVelo 17) encourages you to continue your route to the sea.
