A lovely walk for the whole family. Numerous viewpoints over the Meuse and a wide variety of landscapes.Early spring is the perfect time to enjoy a clearer view of the Monthermé loop. We were inspired by the guidebook "Les Ardennes à pieds" for this hike.

This hike will take you in the footsteps of the Cerceaux quarry workers and the inhabitants of the "Hauts" who once lived off livestock farming, crop cultivation and forestry. You can stroll along these varied paths, perhaps once trodden by pilgrims from Saint-Antoine des Hauts Buttés. On the way back, you will enjoy an easy descent along the Pilette stream.

With a fairly challenging first section through the forest and a more leisurely second section along the Meuse and Semoy rivers, this route has two main destinations: - the Roc la Tour site, a vast quartzite massif, - and La Roche à Sept Heures, located at the top of rocky spurs overlooking the Meuse. The viewpoint at this site offers a very picturesque panorama of the meander, considered to be the most spectacular in France, on the convex side of which Monthermé was built.

This hike offers a variety of routes, allowing you to visit Roc la Tour and perhaps even meet the Ladies of Semoy. Changes to the route between (9) and (11) made on 27/7/2025 due to the closure of the Naux footbridge.

A forest trail starting from a small village in the Semoy Valley. La Roche au Pihü, Les Dames de Semoy and the Robessart viewpoint offer magnificent views of the valley's relief.

Hike with no significant elevation gain, suitable for inexperienced walkers. Route mainly on forest trails. Beautiful views of the Semoy and the entrance to Hautes Rivières, at the Robertsart site, at the paragliding launch site. Moderator's note : it seems that private property shortly afterwards (12) makes it necessary to return via the D13, see reviews.

Forest hike starting from Linchamps in the Hautes Rivières commune. A mountainous start, a passage through La Neuville aux Haies, a forest path overlooking the Ravin de l'Ours, a steep descent to find... the bear, and a peaceful finish. See alternative route suggested in Things to do nearby

Walk along the lake on the undeveloped shore, then return to the starting point through the forest on the heights of the Bois de Renwez.

This walk takes you around Lac des Vieilles Forges in the Ardennes.This is a very accessible route, mainly through forest, but you can add more sections along the lake if you wish. It was a little muddy after the previous day's rain (wear appropriate footwear).

This hike will take you to the border valley of the Ruisseau du Bois Jean, which was once a hotspot for encounters, fraud and smuggling. The Baraque Laurent, the only one still standing, has now been converted into a lodge for groups. The other three huts have disappeared, but their ruins are still visible.

An easy and peaceful route following the meanders of the Semois, mainly on cycle paths (RAVeL) and quiet roads. From Bohan, follow the river towards Vresse, Mouzaive and Alle-sur-Semois, with beautiful views of wooded hills, typical villages and picturesque bridges. The perfect route for a family outing or a contemplative stroll, with the option of picnicking by the water.

Discover a beautiful walk combining nature and heritage between Bohan and Membre, in the Semois valley. The Kelhan footbridge, suspended above the river, offers direct access to peaceful forest trails with superb views of the meandering Semois. Continuing towards Membre, the route takes you to the old railway tunnel connecting the two villages. Approximately 1.5 km long, this disused, dark and cool tunnel impresses with its unique atmosphere. A torch is recommended. This easy and original loop combines Ardennes landscapes, railway heritage and the charm of small villages.

La Croix viewpoint and La Cuve viewpoint offer two beautiful views of the Bohan hills, which you can explore before returning via the Sahu woods.

The Table des Fées walk in Bohan is a circular route marked by yellow diamond signs, offering an immersion in the Ardennes countryside. The trail crosses the Basse Semois nature reserve, revealing legendary rock formations such as the Châtelet, the Cheminée and the Table des Fées. Hikers are rewarded with impressive views of the Semois valley.

The walk from La Croix to Bohan is a 5.2 km loop starting from the church, marked in red, white and red. A steep path leads to a cross offering a superb view of the Semois valley. The route continues through a peaceful forest to the La Cuve viewpoint, then gently descends back to the village. Ideal for lovers of nature and unobstructed views.

This hike is quite physically demanding (distance and elevation gain), but you will discover a magnificent and yet little-known region... The French Meuse with its landscapes where stone, tortured by water but also by man, emerges here and there from the Ardennes forest to offer you sublime views...
