Along the Sélune

Highlight (Segment) • River

The Sélune, 84 km long, ends its journey in the English Channel. It is one of the few rivers where migrating salmon come up the river from the sea to complete their life cycle.

Montgommery Castle was rebuilt in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 16th century, the castle took the name of the Montgommery family. Famous, Gabriel I of Montgommery, owner of the castle, took part in the rue Saint-Antoine tournament and, by bad luck, mortally wounded King Henri II in the eye. Interestingly, this did not result in his own death. It was his conversion to Protestantism that led to his execution and the confiscation of his castle. Two years after his death, Henry III authorized Gabriel I de Montgommery's son, Gabriel II, to reoccupy the castle.

August 15, 2024, Schloss der Montgomery, entlang der Sélune und dem Wald von Ardennes - Rundweg ab Ducey

It was easy to walk. However, you don't necessarily have to cross the pasture. It's better to take the cross path. In addition, one of the forest paths was so overgrown that you couldn't walk along it.
