From Givet to Mouzon, this route was developed by the Departmental Council of the Ardennes on the old towpath, along the Meuse. This green route allows you to discover the charms of the Ardennes without leaving the water!

The architecture of the bridge, the beautiful surroundings and the "second" bridge on the water are truly impressive.

The bright colors of the local materials can be seen on the facades that were previously painted: yellow for the natural stone from Dom-le-Mesnil, red for the bricks and purple-white for the Ardennes slate. The whole falls under monument protection.

Place Ducale is the central and historic main square of Charleville, the northern part of Charleville-Mézières. The square is a copy of the Place des Vosges, the oldest square in Paris. The only big difference is that the square in Paris was designed by Louis Métezeau and that of Charleville by Clément Métezeau, so brothers. The square is a feast for the eyes with 28 monumental buildings, built in the same Baroque style. In the center of the square there is a fountain and a classic merry-go-round. The Place Ducale became the beating heart of the city and still is. The symmetrical lines, the chessboard pattern, the arcades and the facades in red and yellow stone now regularly form the backdrop to events for which the city is known. The square was founded by its ambitious founder, the Italian prince Charles de Gonzague, who had a completely new city built in the 17th century. The square is 126 by 90 meters and the current buildings on the edge of the square all date from the 17th century.

Sedan is a town with a great history. Also with Dutch connections. A daughter of William of Orange became the mother of two brothers here who both fought battles in the Netherlands. Marshal Turenne besieged Den Bosch in his younger years and later returned on behalf of Louis the 14th. His brother was, in addition to Prince of Sedan, governor of Maastricht for a while. There were also many contacts between the Protestants of both countries. You can find all these things in the castle and in the streets of Sedan. And that, between the restaurants, hotels and shops. The town is slowly recovering from the poverty and desolate impression of the past decades. It is becoming more and more beautiful. In addition, there are many events. The surroundings are also attractive. In short: A must-see a short distance from the Netherlands

Good views and nice to connect with history and religion, however on our tour the proposed route took us over some “roads” that were not suited to 4x4s or off road motorcycles that I used when I belonged to the TRF ( look it up online UK)
