Park in the hamlet of Reugnies, in the café Le Canari car park and along the streets, taking care not to disturb local residents and farming machinery.
(S/E) Continue north, following the yellow signs.
(1) Opposite a café, turn right. Go up Chemin de Beaumont à Reugnies. Go straight on, heading for the Belgian border,
(2) Go left up the gravel path Rue Émile Culot. You reach a grassy path. You're in Belgium. The view over the wooded hills is remarkable. Walk between the hedges. Here you come to a tarmac road running alongside the Bois d'Hornibu. Continue straight ahead.
(3) At the next junction, turn right towards Beaumont. Continue along this main road, Rue Albert Gaspard. In the distance, you'll see the Salamandre tower with its slate roof and four turrets, and the small town of Leval-Chaudeville. Drive through the town - whose former industrial activity of spinning and forging is still visible - leaving the roads to your left and right.
(4) Cross the old bridge over the Hante. Continue straight on Rue Jean Leroy
(5) Turn right onto Rue Verte Vallée, then left. A steep climb will take you to the foot of the tower, which has retained the appearance it had when restored in the 16th century. Today, it's a museum containing over 600 exhibits and documents on the history of Beaumont County, the Napoleonic era and local crafts. From the terrace, the panorama extends over the Hante valley.
(6) Leave the Tour de la Salamandre on a balcony path, cross a concrete road and continue straight ahead on Rue de la Croisette. At the next junction, turn left, then right onto Rue Herman Leclercq, passing the water treatment plant on your left and continuing along this country road.
(7) At the crossroads, continue straight ahead on the forest track. You may spot some squirrels along the way. After the stream, you're back in France. Follow the river Hante.
(8) At the Notre Dame de Comagne chapel, the path climbs to the right through the woods. Turn left to return to Chemin du Bois. At the end of the woods, at the junction with a dirt track, continue straight ahead on Chemin du Bois. At the junction of 2 paths, turn left.
(9) Keep left on Chemin de Reugnies à Comagne, then turn right on Chemin d'en haut. Follow this road, pass the Hante and turn left onto Chemin de Beaumont à Reugnies and return to your starting point (S/E).
