Site gallo-romain du Flavier walks
From Moirey (Ferme du Vallon) to Sedan (Camping du Lac de Douzy)
Passing through woods, meadows and sites of First World War battles, we reach the River Meuse at Stenay, a small town in department 55. Our route crosses several meanders and enters the Ardennes via Mouzon, from where EuroVelo 19 takes us to Sedan. On the way, we’ll pitch our tent near Lake Douzy and return there in the evening.
Lorraine, Gaume and Guttland Route (Metz – Chassepierre – Luxembourg)
Two borders, three countries, several castles, a river and winding streams punctuate this short cycle trip. The route often follows valleys, so the elevation gain is not very significant. It almost always follows dedicated routes, including smooth cycle paths, footpaths or shared roads with very little motor traffic. If all the cultural attractions appeal to you, you’ll need to allow an extra day or two – which is possible, for example, by camping in Inor (Meuse) and Hesperange (Luxembourg).

From Douzy (Camping du Lac) to Chassepierre
From Lac de Douzy, after passing through the Forges de Brévilly industrial site – which was very active in the 19th century – we reach the nearby Belgian border (10 km) via a small road that turns into a track suitable for vehicles. From there, simply follow numbers 30, then 11, then 13 on the cycle network’s ‘points-nœuds’ system to reach the village of Chassepierre and the campsite on the banks of the Semois. Halfway along the route, after Muno, a short walk takes you to a remarkable geological feature.
From Chassepierre to Pétange (Luxembourg) along the Semois
For most of the route, this third stage follows roads suitable for cycling, smooth paths and cycle lanes. The Semois meanders so much that it is impossible to ‘follow’ it along its entire length, but this route crosses it numerous times and heads all the way up to its source in Arlon!The ride takes you through the Gaume and the Arlon region, away from the main roads with heavy motor traffic.
Chassepierre – Arlon Official Campsite
Starting from Chassepierre, this route through the Gaume region allows time to visit remarkable cultural sites and another of the ‘most beautiful villages in Wallonia’. This involves a few detours, but fewer than those along the Semois, where the route cuts across several bends! The route description refers to the ‘nodes’ of the cycle network developed in Belgium. The route includes a loop through Arlon to the viewpoint at the top of Knippchen, which can be done in the evening or the following morning.
Chassepierre – Longuyon
For a return trip to Metz in a single day, this route takes you to Longuyon station. Provided you set off early enough, you’ll be able to visit Orval Abbey, then the citadel of Montmédy, stop for lunch by the Étang de Charency-Vezin and reach Longuyon by mid-afternoon.
