Monthermé

Highlight • Settlement

Monthermé is located on both banks of the Semoy.
And as its name does not indicate it at all, its inhabitants are called the Baraquins. This kindness would come from the fact that the small town was at one time only a collection of a few huts. Their occupants were called “those in the barracks”. Hence the name Baraquins.
But the Ardennes are a land of legend, aren't they?

Trans-Ardennes Green Way

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The Voie Verte Trans-Ardennes is the long, flat cycle path that follows the Meuse valley between Charleville-Mézières and Givet. It is built on old towpaths and service roads along the river, giving you a route that is almost entirely car-free, with a constant view of water, forests, and the steep Ardennes walls.
