Loivre (cours d'eau) - Affluent de l'Aisne walks

Discover a unique hike steeped in history, starting from Berry-au-Bac. This route invites you to immerse yourself in the landscapes that marked the First World War. By skirting the famous Côte Cent Huit, a major battleground, you will walk in the footsteps of history, where the memory of the vanished hamlets of Sapigneul and La Neuville is omnipresent. The hike is varied, alternating between quiet forest trails, vast stretches of countryside and the tranquillity of the greenway along the canal linking the Aisne to the Marne

This long-distance walk links Château-Porcien , in the heart of the Southern Ardennes, to Verzenay, in the heart of the Champagne vineyards. The route tells a story of landscapes and agricultural production: starting with the vast cereal-growing plains of the Porcien; then the River Aisne and the Ardennes Canal, former routes for the transport of goods; Asfeld and its stunning Baroque church; the locks and hydraulic structures of the Canal Latéral à l’Aisne; Reims, the historic capital of Champagne; and finally the vineyard-covered slopes of the Montagne de Reims and the Verzenay lighthouse.A route that takes us from wheat to grapes, from farmland to vineyards, largely following the old waterways that once enabled produce and goods to be transported.
