The Trans-Ardennes Greenway is an 80-kilometre cycle path winding along the Meuse on the old towpath. To be taken in part to discover Nouzonville or Monthermé, Revin, Fumay and Givet. From Givet, the long-distance hiker can join the RAVel network (the Belgian cycling route network). Since December 2015, this runway has been extended by 58 kilometres to Sedan, Remilly-Aillecourt and Mouzon, which is its terminus. By 2018, the network will be extended to Vouziers and Rethel, along the Canal des Ardennes.

On the site where many Ardennes resistance fighters were shot by the Germans during the occupation, a memorial in homage to the Ardennes Resistance was erected in 1946. It is flanked by two walls of remembrance where are engraved 504 names of Ardennes resistance fighters who died in combat, tortured, shot, or who did not survive the deportation.

More than 50 years after its creation, the puppet festival remains, by far, the main attraction of Charleville-Mézières. About fifty indoor shows for the "in" festival, countless street performances (on the Place Ducale and surroundings), but also exhibitions. Don't hesitate to ask for more information: the association communicates a lot on social networks. Programs, posters and goodies on sale at the association's headquarters.
A museum entirely dedicated to the enfant terrible of Charleville. The museum was completely renovated and inaugurated in June 2015.
12 scenes representing the Ardennes legend of the 4 Sons Aymon is played by the great puppeteer - an automaton 10 m high designed by Jacques Monestier and inaugurated in 1991 - whose cogs are presented in the Musée de l'Ardenne. The design and installation of this PLC is presented here.
One of the places where Arthur Rimbaud moved with his whole family in 1869, at the beginning of his creativity. Contrary to what you might think, the rooms in this house are empty of period furniture. Rather, it is a question of refocusing the life and work of the poet through his chaotic itinerary.
The great museum of the Ardennes, for any local history buff, or simply curious. The Ardennes Museum traces the entire history of the region, or almost: from prehistory to the present day, through the Middle Ages and the modern era, you will be entitled to a very broad summary of what the Ardennes used to be.
