Discover Logny-bogny in picturesque Ardennes

To travel through the Ardennes is to journey through a landscape that has given rise to many legends. Its secret valleys, its deep forests and its fast-flowing rivers have created legends which have been passed down verbally from generation to generation and which come to life again when you actually walk along the pathways where they were created. In the Semois valley, wisps of mist dance around you, evoking the fairies flying around the village of Les Hayons, near Bouillon. In the Lesse valley, paths lead to a natural paradise that is jealously guarded by the Nutons. In the huge Ardennes Forest, you can hear the echo of the hooves of Bayard the horse as he carries away the four sons of Aymon fleeing Charlemagne, in a timeless, endless fantasy ride. The Legends Trail follows the gentle curves of the hillsides and rivers of this enchanting landscape which comes to life and tells its tales as you move through it.

For those who love walking or cycling, the Green Routes in France and the RAVeL in Belgium open the doors to the most secret corners of both countries. As you cycle along the banks of the Meuse or hike through the secret Oignies Forest, you will understand why these long-distance paths are known as “happy trails”. They only rarely cross roads, so you can cycle or walk in complete peace! The path along the beautiful Meuse valley crosses the river several times on ancient bridges that are works of art. The path that leads to Nismes Forest follows the route taken by the old stopping trains from station to station. But above all, these paths allow you to discover countryside that is inaccessible by car.

You join the Chevauchée route in the Pays des Lacs region starting from the French border in Brûly. After a few metres, you are immersed in the Ardennes forest, which is the true green lung of the Walloon region, and the heart of an ecosystem inhabited by various wild species and an incredible biodiversity. After this gentle forest stretch lasting around eight kilometres, you reach the refreshing village of Oignies-en-Thiérache, which is known for its slate quarries and pretty stone houses. Did you know that this town was the geographical centre of the European Union until its expansion in 2004? Once you pass through, you are immersed in the lush forest once more.  

At the heart of Seloignes wood, choose a peaceful hike through the countryside along the river Oise. Seloignes wood is an immense humpback that separates the Meuse and Oise basins. The Oise extends over around 15 km in Belgium. Its source is to the north of Scourmont abbey in the municipality of Chimay, then it turns west to the French border where it gives its name to the village of Macquenoise. It then descends south to cross the departments of Aisne, Oise and Seine-et-Oise and flows into the Seine at Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, not far from Paris.

Crossing the land of the Ardenne means encountering contrasting landscapes steeped in legends. The most secret valleys, the deepest forests and the wildest rivers have given rise to legends, some of which are told and experienced with the current of the water. In the Meuse valley, as the river twists and turns, revel in the surprise of amazing landscapes, monuments nestling in green settings and soothing calm. Exploring the Ardenne with the current, following the pace set by the river, ensures a change of scenery and a sense of wonder.

Tortueuse et paisible, la Semoy se dévoile au gré de la voie verte. This 3 meter-large greenway was partly set up on an ancient railroad and is currently being improved. Many sections will be tarred.

Take a forested trail from Place de Courquain – the setting of Dany Boon’s film “Nothing to Declare” – towards the Great Crossing of the Forêt du Pays de Chimay. The picturesque atmosphere of this vast forest is peppered with rural valleys, which have been shaped by the Helpe, and a series of ponds, the largest of which is the Fourchinée. The source of the Eau Blanche is found nearby. This river guides you between woods and meadows to the stately city of Chimay, via a short urban route towards the Grand Place. Three camp sites are located in this section: the Nouveau Monde, the Sentier des Pins and the Crayats camp site.

You start this stretch in the border village of Macquenoise, the most southern and westerly point of the Chevauchée trail in the Pays des Lacs region. This former Franco-Belgian Hirson-Macquenoise customs house was made famous by the popular comedy ‘Nothing to Declare’. It was renamed the Courquain Customs House for the film. This region has been a crossroad for centuries, as evidenced by the scattered Roman ruins. You leave the village through the Chimay Forest and reach Seloignes from the north. You then pass near the charming Fourchinée pond. This reservoir supplied a furnace until the 18th century. Today, it is a nature reserve home to incredible flora and fauna. Finally, you reach Forges near the Rue des Sarts.

In the municipality of Macquenoise, and specifically near to this hike, many prehistoric remains have been discovered, including a glassworks in the place named ‘Fourmatot’. Along the stream of the same name that you cross several times, glass debris from the 2nd century has been uncovered. The glass furnace was in operation from the start of the 12th century, and was closed since 1780. The hike starts and finishes a stone’s throw from the Courquains customs post, that was made famous by the film ‘Rien à déclarer’ (Nothing to declare).

Commemorative monuments to the battle of Fosse à l'Eau on 28th and 29th August 1914 wereerected by the Germans (in 1915) and by the French (in 1924) in honour of the Moroccan Division.

The church was rebuilt according to plans drawn up on 20 April 1844 by the departmental architect Delerue. However, the first third of the porch of the old church was replaced as a forebuilding, but its portal was still rebuilt; this part must date from the 18th century. In an initial project dated 16 March 1844, Delerue wanted to retain the old building and enlarge it by adding side aisles and a new choir. The church of Saint Arnould is located in the centre of the village and is westernised. It has an elongated plan. The four-bay, three-vessel nave is preceded by a forecourt, the ground floor of which is occupied by the timber-framed spiral staircase, the first floor by a gallery supported by two cast-iron columns and the ridge by the square timber-framed bell tower. The choir consists of a straight bay, framed by two sacristies, and a three-sided apse. The building is built of limestone rubble with a Dom-le-Mesnil ashlar chain. The floor of the nave's central aisle is covered with black marble tiles and the rest with concrete, and the choir with a black and white marble chequerboard. The walls are pierced with semicircular arched windows and the western doorway has a flat band and is topped by a triangular pediment supported by two brackets. The side aisles have ceilings, the central nave and the right choir bay are covered by a false barrel vault and the apse by a barrel vault. The nave and right choir bay are covered in synthetic material, while the apse and bell tower are covered in slate. The central nave and the right choir bay are covered with a pitched roof, the side aisles with shed roofs, the sacristies with gable roofs and the bell tower with a polygonal spire.

Located in the small village of Cliron, the Charroué washhouse is a perfect place to relax. Not far from Charleville, this washhouse was, many years ago, an important part of the village where many families used to wash their clothes. It is still in good condition today, and the green space surrounding it means that everyone can come and enjoy a break.

The building was constructed in the first half of the 16th century (according to the choir bays and the north-capital pier in the forechoir bay); the south aisle must have been added a little later. As the pillars and vaults were not built during the first campaign, they were erected in several stages: 1557 for the north aisle (date inscribed on an abutment) and 1622 for the crossing and chancel. The classical-style portal was built in the 17th century and the sacristy in 1717, as the date on the washbasin indicates. It was probably fortified in the late 16th or 17th century. The church of Saint-Martin, located in the centre of the village, has an elongated floor plan. The nave has three aisles and three bays and is preceded by a bell tower. A forechoir bay is flanked by a chapel to the north and a sacristy to the south. The chancel comprises a straight bay and a three-sided apse. The limestone rubble walls have ashlar bays. The central aisle has a limestone flagstone floor, while the choir has a black and red marble chequerboard floor. The walls are pierced with semi-circular and pointed arch windows. The interior is rib-vaulted, with gunshot openings in the walls. The church is covered in slate, with long-sloped roofs for the nave, chapel and choir, and a square spire for the bell tower.

According to the date on the back of a painting in the choir, Saint-Nicolas church was inaugurated in 1831. Saint-Nicolas is located in the centre of the village and is a western church. It has an elongated plan. The three-vessel, four-bay nave is preceded by a western section comprising an entrance vestibule, surmounted by the organ loft supported by two cast-iron columns and the timber-framed bell tower, framed by the spiral staircase and the confessional chapel on the left and by a storeroom and the baptismal font chapel on the right. The choir consists of a straight bay and a semicircular apse with a polygonal volume against which the sacristy is built. The building is built of small and medium cut stone. The interior walls are plastered and the floor is paved with a checkerboard pattern of black and grey marble. The building has a single storey with semi-circular windows. The nave's three sections are separated by Ionic columns: the nave's central section is covered by a barrel vault, the side aisles by ceilings and the apse by a cul-de-four. All of the building's roofs are slate. The nave and choir are covered by a pitched roof, the apse by a polygonal hipped roof, the sacristy by a pitched and hipped roof and the bell tower by an imperial roof topped by a polygonal spire.

The Bois de la Rosière monument stands on the edge of the wood from which it takes its name, in the commune of Tournes near Charleville-Mézières (Ardennes), where thirteen Resistance fighters were executed without trial on 29 August 1944. On 29 August 1944, a few hours before their departure, the Germans resigned themselves to releasing the patriots held in Charleville prison, Place Carnot, around fifty men and women. But at the insistence of the Gestapo and the French Militia, they decided to shoot some of the hostages beforehand. So it was that the thirteen unfortunates, chosen at random, were taken from their cell and transported by lorry to Rosière Wood (in the commune of Tournes), where they were immediately shot. They had been led to believe that they were going to be freed; among them were two women. The Bois de la Rosière monument was inaugurated on 30 August 1947 in the presence of many prominent members of the Ardennes Resistance and Pierre Schneiter, deputy for the Marne and brother of André Schneiter. The monument was erected on the site of the massacre at the initiative of the commune of Tournes, which had called for public subscriptions. It was designed by Gustave Maily, a sculptor from Reims. It consists of a marble stele erected on the site of a wooden Cross of Lorraine erected the day after the Liberation. Above the names of the thirteen Resistance fighters executed are engraved a Cross of Lorraine and the inscription : ‘Here on 29 August 1944, on the eve of the Liberation, thirteen patriots were shot by the Germans’.

Founded in 1129, the architecture of Notre-Dame de Septfontaines abbey dates back to this period. It was built by the Seigneur de Mésière, whose first name was Hélie. It underwent a number of architectural changes between the French Revolution and the 1st World War, and today has the structure of a 3-storey château flanked by 2 turrets, in the classical 17th century style inspired by François Mansart (high slate roofs, harmonious proportions). At the start of the First World War, General Joffre set up his headquarters in the abbey, but the rapid advance of the Germans forced him to leave very quickly. In September 1914, Kaiser Wilhelm II moved to Charleville: the Château de Septfontaines was transformed into a casino by the Kaiser, who came here every day for tea, accompanied by his senior officers. The waltz of generals continued into the thirties.In the early 20th century, it became the property of the Vendroux family, Charles de Gaulle's family-in-law, who regularly stayed here to relax and recharge their batteries between the wars. The future general enjoyed horse riding, croquet, badminton and, in autumn, hunting. He also worked on some of his books. The estate was not just a place of pleasure. It was also a farm, run by farmers, with fields and orchards. The Vendroux family left in May 1940, as the château was very close to the German breakthrough on the Meuse. In May 1978, before moving to the retirement home of the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception in Paris, Yvonne de Gaulle, who had been widowed a few years earlier, made a final pilgrimage to the château, where her sister-in-law Madeleine, the widow of Jean Vendroux, still lived. Around 1985, the property was bought by the Prince de Mérode, who completely renovated the château and turned it into a prestigious hotel-restaurant. Stéphane Dupuis, François and Quentin Clarin bought the abbey of Sept Fontaines at the end of 2018 out of a passion for the place. This monument is 10 minutes from Charleville-Mézières and has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1980.

Mont Cornu is a stone colossus that rivalled the power of the fortress in Bouillon. Although the entrance to the castle demonstrates humility, as you make your way around its contours on foot, Montcornet reveals the full extent of its power.

This pretty road crosses the southern Ardennes countryside to Launois-sur-Vence, a rural village far from the hustle and bustle of towns and cities. The location of the Ardwen brewery is no trivial matter. The Champagne region is close by, its subsoil brimming with pure water, the basis of all high-quality beers. And the Woinic beer can claim its right to be described as such, since it has been nominated eight times at the Paris Agricultural Show. Recognition like this owes nothing to chance. The young but talented master brewer, Geoffrey Stevenin, loves his work and his range of beers, all made using natural ingredients. “The barley is from Champagne and the malt is from Belgium. But we will never add artificial flavouring to our beers”. The brewery produces a wide range of beers, all different, with very definite characters, just like the Ardennes! The Ardwen Blonde is refreshing and fresh; the Blanche is more lemony, with hints of coriander; the Ambrée is typical of caramelised malts. The Cerise or cherry beer is characterised by a lovely roundness, based on pure Morello cherry juice; the Hop’s Cure is strong in malts and hops. The Bleue has a pronounced bitterness, compared to the Rouge, which is beautifully round, with a fruity taste calling to mind kirsch, while the special Christmas beer, Ardwen de Noël, is more complex, with a subtle blend of spices. The Ardwen logo depicts the goddess Arduinna, protector of the forest, astride a wild boar: we’ll wager she protects this brewery like treasure, as the worthy heir of Ardennes brewing know-how.
