Ardennes

Your choice of base
Pont-A-Bar River Meuse
Dinant / Anseremme River Meuse

A boating holiday in Ardennes is the ideal location for seeing both beautiful countryside and a collection of traditional cities and villages. To the east lies the Argonne forest- fondly known as a lung of Europe, guaranteed to provide an inhalation of clear air with every breath. The architecture in this region provides equally vivid scenery- a stop in Sedan allows you to visit one of the largest medieval castles in Europe, whilst Reims, Metz and Nancy boast spectacular cathedrals which are always worth a visit. The region of Ardennes therefore provides a holiday with a variety of sights and experiences, all of which are accessible through an intricate network of canals and waterways.

River Meuse
Enjoy the fresh, clean air of the Ardennes, (which mean “dense forest” in Celtic) & understand why this part of France acts as the lung of Europe. The stunning natural beauty of the area, added to the traditional inns & villages will charm you, whilst the mountainous vista creates a dramatic back drop. The River Meuse gently winds its way into the hills of the Ardennes, home to roe-deer & some of France’s rarest birds whilst the protected wetlands nurture rare orchids & fly-catching sundew. Take the time to visit Sedan, Europe’s largest fortress & learn all about the marionettes during a stopover at Charleville-Mezieres, an opportunity not to be missed!
