Set off to explore the pretty town of Nismes with its beautiful stone houses and unspoilt nature. Follow the Eau Noire river upstream to Petigny, climb its wooded hills and discover the Fondry des Chiens via less frequented paths, ending your hike with a visit to the Jardin d'O.

Difficult
Departure from Viroinval (Province de Namur)
Set off to explore the Viroin-Hermeton Nature Park, with its unspoilt natural surroundings, limestone sinkholes and calcareous meadows. From Nismes, follow the right bank of the Eau Noire, which further on joins the Eau Blanche to form the Viroin. It is precisely the Viroin, as it flows through Belgium, that serves as the central theme of this walk. Marvel at the vast landscapes that unfold before you as you follow footpaths and forest tracks, and enjoy the villages with their beautiful stone houses. The walk will also allow you to discover a rich history, with the excavations of a protohistoric fortification near Olloy-sur-Viroin, a Roman villa in Treignes, a glimpse of the ruins of the medieval Château de la Haute Roche in Dourbes, the fortified cemetery and the ruins of the Château du Pont d’Avignon, which has no connection to the other bridge, in Nismes. Nismes is 40 km from Charleroi and 46 km from Charleville-Mézières. Warning: highly addictive.

Very difficult
Departure from Fumay (Ardennes)
From the French Meuse at Fumay to the Belgian Semois at Vresse-sur-Semois, this is a stage featuring significant elevation changes, both uphill and downhill. The paths are very varied, ranging from tarmac roads to well-marked farm tracks, forest tracks generally in good condition, and footpaths that are more or less well marked. It is a long stage, tiring due to its steep climbs followed by equally steep descents, and takes place mainly through woodland. The arrival point and end of the stage are not fixed, as I am staying with a local resident.
