Short trip to the French Ardennes
About this collection
This route collection takes you from Alken in Limburg in Belgium to the French Ardennes and back. You not only pass the region around Bouillon, but follow the Semois and the Meuse for a very long part downstream. You can expect not only pleasant road surfaces, but also super long and nice sharply spiced bends.
The first route takes you to Monthermé, a village in the French Ardennes, located along the Meuse. You will get to know this river very well in this collection. Just like the Semois mentioned above, a small Walloon river that flows into the Meuse at Monthermé, from where it flows back into Belgium, together with the Meuse. Both the first and second routes largely run along and across these two important rivers.
In the loop of the first route you will see - if you have an eye for something other than the great motorcycle playground you have ended up in - the town of Bouillon, which is quite important in terms of crusades. The location of the town is also special, almost completely surrounded by a meander of the Semois.
After a possible visit to the town, you meander along with the Semois into France to Monthermé where the Semois surrenders in the arms of the Meuse.
You may be able to spend the night in hotel 'Les Boucles de Meuse', a fairly simple hotel where you can also enjoy the evening meal.
The next day you take a very pleasant 'colletje' before descending to the Meuse. The route then follows the Meuse over a length of 174 km. You will cross the river up to 10 times on this ride while flirting with its banks.
Every now and then a side jump is made to take some nice turns. Most of these side jumps are, by the way, designated by Michelin as 'green', so very beautiful roads.
Pay attention to crossing game when you drive through the forests. Wildlife also really likes the woods and there are better ways to get a wild boar on your plate than to hit it with your front wheel.
In the second route you can not only enjoy the Meuse, but you also pass three cities that are worth mentioning. Givet in France with its imposing ruined fortress on top of the mountain, Dinant with its famous rocky outcrop and Citadel and finally Namur with its fortress. Proof that the Meuse was already a highly valued area in the past that was not given to the enemy without a fight. Even the great (?) Napoleon is no stranger to this region.
But even if you are not interested in the history of the region and/or in the many castles that will cross your path, this 2-day route collection is an absolute must in terms of road quality, route variety (short firm and sometimes spicy turns , long open roads, rolling forest roads and smooth asphalt,...) and landscape views.
Very pleasant, even impressive scenes slide past your wheels. And without exaggeration, I dare to compare its quality with some of the most beautiful foreign routes in the Black Forest, Eifel and Sauerland.
Although nature here really shows its rough side through some solid rock formations along the road.
Perhaps you - just like us - will be deeply impressed by the region and both rides. If so, feel free to let us know. In any case, we hope that you will enjoy these 5 star rides as much as we did, which - in a two day period - are suitable for every type of rider.
