The route
You can leave Charleville via a path running alongside the Meuse from the Mont-Olympe campsite. From the Place Ducale, head down Rue du Moulin. Then, take the footbridge located next to the Rimbaud Museum. Please note: some sections are unsurfaced.
The rest of the route runs alongside the river Meuse and presents no particular difficulty.
Links
From Monthermé, it is possible to join another greenway taking you along the Semoy River. The latter’s secretive valley is a joy for those who appreciate nature.
