Description

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.

Charlemont Fort

Overlooking the town, on a steep rocky spur, the imposing Charlemont Fort dominates the landscape. Built on the orders of Charles V, this citadel covers a surface area of 60 hectares, with over 10 kilometres of ramparts, rising 100 metres above Givet. In addition to its defensive role in time of war, Charlemont Fort was, in the more recent past, as of 1962, used by the military as a commando training centre or CEC. As such, it resumed the traditions of the 9th regiment of Zouaves. The so-called PAR courses included acclimatisation, climbing, escape, urban combat and other challenges. Following the reorganisation of the National Defence ordered by President Nicolas Sarkozy, the military handed over Charlemont Fort to the municipality in July 2009. Charlemont hosts events throughout the season, workshops and tours adapted for children, in addition to free and guided tours for all. Leisure activities are also on offer: all-terrain electric scooter rides throughout the site; laser games, outdoors in the training village of the former Commando Training Centre; and since 2023, accrocommando, a unique experience right on the ramparts of Charlemont, a course inspired by commandos. Opening times 2023: April to October, April-May-October weekends and public holidays, 10.30am to 5.30pm; June and September Wednesday to Sunday, 10.30am to 6.30pm and July and August Wednesday to Monday, 10.30am to 6.30pm. telephone: 03.24.56.96.87 e-mail: contact@charlemont.fr
