RouteXpert Review
This fairytale route starts in the village of Revin in the middle of the French Ardennes. This well-defined ride is one of the most beautiful Ardennes routes and traverses both the French and Belgian Ardennes. First we cross the French Ardennes from west to east along the banks of the Maas.
Along the way we pass numerous beautiful views to which many stories and legends are linked such as Mont Malgré-Tout (Rp2) with a beautiful panoramic view over the Meuse valley, Les Dames de Meuse (Rp3),
Roc-la-Tour or the Devil's Castle and La Roche à Sept Heures (Rp5) and the statue of the four Aymon brothers (Rp6).
Please note that Roc-la-Tour and La Roche à Sept Heures can only be reached on foot.
A walk of 2 km downstream leads you to Roc-La-Tour and via a narrow hiking trail with many panoramas you can reach La Roche à Sept Heures.
An information panel on the parking informs about the different routes.
After we have exchanged the banks of the Maas for those of the Semois, the road takes us to Belgium in the region around Bouillon. Here the Semois winds through the landscape. This ensures beautiful views over different meanders (Rp 9 and 14), each with its own story.
Near Bouillon (Rp12) we have a view over the medieval castle. The castle is definitely worth a visit. It is also the ideal place to stop for lunch.
After the stop we follow the winding of the Semois further to the Southeast. Along the way we pass the Château de Fées (Rp19), the ruins of a Roman castle and the Feeënspelonk (Rp29), a rocky overhang, pierced with corridors and holes. There are many myths and legends associated with both sights.
The route ends in Virton at the tourism office. From here, the E25 Luxembourg-Liège motorway is easily accessible.
