Tips from the Community
Along the Voie Verte, you glide into Monthermé, a village that still carries its history in its facades. For centuries, the Meuse was a workplace here: log drivers, ironworks, and small industries set the rhythm. Today, you mainly see the quiet echo of that – natural stone houses on the slope, wide staircases that workers once climbed up and down daily, and a village center that has formed around the river.

Along the Voie Verte, you glide into Monthermé, a village that still carries its history in its facades. The Meuse was a workplace here for centuries: wood rafters, forges, and small industries set the rhythm. Today, you mainly see the quiet echo of that — natural stone houses against the slope, wide stairs that workers once climbed up and down daily, and a village center that has formed around the river.

Sluice no. 44 – Joigny‑sur‑Meuse A quiet Freycinet lock in the bend of the Meuse valley, just outside Joigny‑sur‑Meuse. The lock is situated between high Ardennes slopes and offers a beautiful moment to see the canal and the river running parallel. The old lock keeper's house and the open view of the valley make this a small but atmospheric stop on the Charleville‑Mézières – Givet route.

The section of the cycle path along the Meuse in the narrow valley of the Ardennes is beautiful.

The beautiful and strikingly modern town hall of the Mezières district. The adjacent forecourt was traffic-calmed a few years ago. There's also a drinking water fountain in the southwest corner of the square.
