Upstream from Charleville, the River Meuse has dug a deep, winding course through dark forests full of big game animals. Follow its meandering course and explore villages such as Braux and its collegiate church, and Monthermé and its old houses. Natural beauty spots include the Roches de Laifour, whose sheer rock faces drop down into the river. Make your way along the ridge of the Dames de Meuse and savour the view from Mont Malgré-Tout. A mysterious region well worth taking the time to explore.
