With the canal de la Meuse takes you through the lush pastures and verdant countrside of Lorraine as far as Verdun, the River Meuse itself loop romantically into the tangled hills of the Ardennes whose forests act as a great lung for Europe. Home of wild boar, roe-deer and some of France's rarest birds, the Ardennes forest also shelter in their protected wetlands such rarities as orchids and the fly-catching sundew. At Sedan don't miss a visit to Europe's largest fortress, while you can discover all about marionnettes at Charleville-Mezieres, world capital of the art. If you decide to head for Belgium, you'll be struck by the very special character of the villages and towns of the Ardennes.

Pont-à-Bar (Ardennes)
Pont à Bar is a pretty small hamlet with a score of inhabitants. It was founded during the construction of the Ardennes Canal during the last century. The petite, attractive river port where you commence your trip is surrounded by typical Ardennes houses. Here you can appreciate the great diversity of landscapes as you cruise along through the meadows of Meuse and the legendary forests of Ardennes...
Approximately 10km further you will come across the town of Sedan. Today, a town of Art and history, Sedan, and in particular its old centre, possesses stunning architecture. Enjoy a break at the Charleville Mézières to visit the zoo where you will undoubtedly see various wild boars, stags, roe-deer and birds. For those who enjoy museums, the Ardennes museum is well worth a visit to discover its hidden treasures of history and archaeology.
